[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 668904, member: 1664"] [B][COLOR=DarkGreen] [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=DarkGreen][B]My wife was the first employee hired in a small internet based company. She now is in control of shipping and customer service. This small company now spends over 1 million dollars yearly in shipping products world wide. UPS gets less than 5% of their shipping, due to those pennies-(more like dollars)-. International shipping, UPS has improved by lowering their cost to meet USPS prices,-( read as selling for less)- but only to about 60% of the countries my wife ships product to. [SIZE=3]Our growth as a company is only based on the economy and products shipped.[/SIZE] Just some simple calculus for you. -( the terms We, Us and Our is synonymous with UPS)- Our shipping base is finite. We are already the major mover of parcels in the US. We are at a point of [SIZE=3]"diminishing returns[/SIZE]" in time, money and effort, to try and increase profit. IMHEO, we need to focus on service, to our core base. UPS has a myriad of other arms in the economic world and will survive into the future, in name only. We are increasing volume with Basic, at a 50% reduced profit. We are increasing international volume, by cutting our profit margin. We are cutting our own throats. Oh, BTW, My wife's company is about to get 6 pallet loads of shipping boxes with their company name and logo printed on them for free from USPS. Nothing like competing against a company that can sell stamps to make up their loss and have our Congress back them up. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
