[QUOTE="gman042, post: 1292795, member: 36560"] But is that really true? It takes the combined efforts of UPS, Fedex and USP to deliver the Amazon volume. This could potentially amount to hundreds of drivers in a "region" . Your typical regional delivery company is certainly not going to be able handle that kind of volume with any efficiency. Their expenditures(more trucks and drivers) will escalate rapidly as will the cost of their service. They will not be able to absorb service discounts as the larger more diverse delivery companies. Their service could cost more. Now....if Amazon wants to develop their own delivery infrastructure, they will encounter the same issue as the smaller delivery company. More trucks, more drivers, the logistics of getting a package from point A to point B efficiently and cost effectively. It is very costly. Amazon does not directly pay our wages. They have enjoyed huge shipping discounts. It is clear they don't have a true grasp on the costs and the minute details of shipping a package and insuring that it reaches its proper destination. If they follow through with their threat to use regional carriers, I predict a very costly and potentially damaging eye opening experience for Amazon [/QUOTE]
