Amazon can not just ship there own pkgs, they can start delivering everything we do. I'm just think too damage much,,lol, they can buy us out and there go see our pension.

I know.Inde was being cute.
As always...
Not really.Seriously?
They have survived because of some stellar employees. I recently noticed that the stock tanked when I accepted a transfer to porters.I'm beginning to think they have survived by "just dumb luck".
You just gotta be better than Amazon.What does everyone think about Amazon starting there delivery service? How will it affect us ? Our job security our pension?
Suckers!True, ups will survive no doubt about it, low seniority employees are the ones that will suffer.

It's a combination, kind of like a one-two punch. Your left lead followed by my right cross might just put them on the mat.All this time I figured UPS was going down the drain because I retired
It will be a while before it hits the bigger structure of ups. Right now they're looking for suckers to operate their own "shipping business" in major metropolis areas. They don't have enough volume to deliver outside of those parameters in the hinterlands.What does everyone think about Amazon starting there delivery service? How will it affect us ?

I suspect if all goes well in recruiting these suckers it will begin cutting into the # of ups routes in major population areas in a few years.
If everything is rolling perfectly for them I bet a nationwide rollout is 15-20 years out.
Ups will play the Amazon delivery rollout card in the contract years to cut benefits & or freeze wages.
Probably the bigger question is not about Amazon taking boxes but another "shipper' entering the fray paying $15-20.That's the best answer I received all day, thank you so much
How will ups justify paying $40 with massive benefits when Amazon & X paying 15-20 with little to no benefits. Post office around 25-30 with ok benefits.
Complacency is your worst enemy.Because I do 3x's the work of any of the 4 Barneys I see on my route. Never once seen a fedex truck even 1/2 full. USPS trucks are so small they couldn't fit my 5K shelf in them. Amazon delivery will last right up until about the 3rd high profile crash that wipes out a family of 4 and they'll do exactly what Office Depot did.....send it all back to us.
Ground and Home are now combined. Express will never be run by contractors but I can see a future where Ground and Express combine into an all employee workforce.We can survive without Amazon. We discount large shippers like that so much sometimes I think they are more trouble than they are worth. The problem I see is if they expand enough and start delivering other company's stuff and take that revenue from us. There is no way we can compete with a higher labor rate. The advantage we have over FedEx is that they run three different delivery divisions to do what we do with one truck. If they ran Express, Ground, and Home out of the same truck using contractors that would put the hurt on UPS.
