[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3723391, member: 58386"] I never once said that the FXG contract was better than AMZN. What I'm getting at is that it would appear to be a case of AMZN taking an old contract (RPS) cleaning it up a bit in the hope that it would pass IRS scrutiny. This initiative is being undertaken in the aftermath of Bezos constant belly aching about shipping costs and think s that he's found a way do get the job done even cheaper than the heavily discounted rates the Big 3 are already giving him.It should therefore create a high level of suspicion as to whether or not they would get enough money out of him to cover all of the contractual obligations a AMZN contractor will be getting himself into. Unfortunately there will be some starry eyed " entrepreneur" will assume that they will. Sure it might be ok provided that you're fortunate enough to land in an area advantageous enough that it affords you the opportunity to be able to operate within the narrow cost parameters AMZN has established but not everyone is going land there. It therefore brings up the question of who will get the good area and who's going to get the not so good area and what settlement adjustment they're willing to make in order to keep somebody in those less attractive work areas.
