[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 2564176, member: 51847"] Everyone has their own opinion. When I see them building a network to deliver packages I'll believe it. Right now they have warehouses around the country in larger, more densely populated areas. It would cost them billions to build out infrastructure. I just read the post office needs about $5 billion to replace their 25 year old fleet of delivery vehicles. What would happen to Amazon if the USPS decided that Amazon's low margin packages aren't worth delivering and decided to go to a 5 day week for cost savings? Amazon would be totally screwed right now and begging ups and FedEx for any help they could get. A 2 day prime guarantee would be out of the question for most of the country without UPS and FedEx bailing them out. With your thnking we should all be terrified of Walmart. They have warehouses and stores everywhere and they already have their own trucking company. [/QUOTE]
