[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 1971849, member: 58808"] It took ups over a 100 plus years to create a global air and ground network. Fedex has been at for almost 40 years. And Amazon is going to build a cost efficient and effective network to take them out of business in a few years?? Why, because they're leasing planes and trailers? Yeah except they won't have the piece ratio to cost like we do. You think other online retailers are going to let Amazon deliver their stuff? Or other companies? Or the healthcare field? No. Every retailer and e commerce company is trying to or has a logistics network. Wal-mart, target, Best Buy and so forth have their own trucks and feeders network. Is ups out of business? Nowhere near it. Here's how Fedex and Ups handle Amazon if they announce entering into our field: oh hello price hike to full retail rates and no more special accommodations for your volume. You think the USPS can absorb it? Local carriers? Their own network? Nope. Amazon stock would plummet and they'd lose billions. Don't think this isn't on the table. Amazon knows it. [/QUOTE]
