[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1429812, member: 198"] Yes. Any UPSer with any sense would want US delivering Amazon's stuff. Amazon would have to have a building (distribution center) for everyone one of our hubs and extended centers in order to deliver everything on their own. Otherwise the network wouldn't be adequate without the help of another carrier or two. You have to look at the history of how UPS grew its network, and consider just how many distribution points it actually requires in order to cover enough ground efficiently and at a profit, in order to see just how silly it would be for Amazon to attempt to deliver everything on their own. And solely using the USPS (or even FedEx) to make up for the inadequacy of their own future network would be a disaster. But that goes without saying. Despite what some would say about UPS lately, and some of it is true no doubt, UPS is still the best for the job. If we could fix our main weakness in the feeder network, which is lack of enough sleeper teams, our network would be hard for Amazon to refuse. [/QUOTE]
