Nothing wrong with it at all. The problem comes after you succeed and become the upper class. Like I said before. We were supposed to be different. We aren't.

Look around. You tell me. Who gets bailed out and who gets foreclosed on? Who fights the wars and who cashes the fat wall street bonuses?
What about Walmart bbsam? Do you really think Walmart is going to allow Amazon to steal more and more of their market share? Walmart has the ability to develop their own(in each city) shipping company and they are currently working on it. Walmart is a company that has to have complete control of their operation so using FDX or UPS for shipping wont work long term.
Everyone? In 2013 you have UPS and FDX for shipping.(post office will be dead soon). Ask Best Buy or Dell about technology and change? Who would have thought that these 2 companies would be where they are now 10 years ago.
The same day delivery idea is kind of dumb but if Walmart can get shampoo or trash bags to a customer quickly(like Amazon does) with their own shipping company than this will have a huge impact on FDX and UPS.
Walmart is the key player that could change the online retail world with their own delivery company.
UPS already is in the retail biz. Its a company called Amazon that has big warehouses that fill orders for people who buy stuff from their Amazon website. UPS built Amazon from the ground up.
The thing I love about this brilliant idea is that it would be so easy for UPS to pull off. All your doing is just taking out the online middleman.
Walmart and Amazon ALREADY ARE TRYING TO BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYBODY.

Last time I checked Amazon was its own company. Amazon built Amazon. You provide a service to them, that's it.

Which is why it'll never happen because guys like you, who know better, figure that's just the way it is so better grab mine while I can.

I think shut-ins or people too busy to shop, but don't want to hire a housekeeper, would be interested in such a service. Lord knows Walmart is just about everywhere now. Now there's an image, a blue and white van with a big smiley face and the caption "Always the low price, always" blowing by a purple and green van on the highway.

You need to do some research----UPS built Amazon.

I think you need to do some research. Again, you provide a service, and that's it . You like to think UPS built them and they wouldn't survive without you. But that just isn't the case.
And now Amazon is opening regional distribution centers to take advantage of FedEx Ground's lower prices. That's gratitude for you.

I need to get back to work---do yourself a favor and research it---you would be surprised as to the degree of influence UPS had in making Amazon what it is today.
I believe guys like you will lead a revolution and will be exactly like those you replace in a matter of time, a la the French Revolution.
then why does Amazon ever speak of going with another carrier? Ungrateful slobs?
Nope, the true believers are always ousted by the wolves in sheep's clothing.

Influence and building a company are two completely different things. UPS not Steve Jobs and Amazon is not Apple.

As long as they keep tuition reimbursement alive, I just need this company to stick around a year and a half. Everyone else, even the the old timers, take advantage and start working towards another angle in life.
Amen!
