[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3038930, member: 24302"] And they'd lose the heavy boxes he'd throw their way. Bacha talks about rural deliveries from a contractor's perspective. Express and UPS are already delivering in the rural areas. The extra freight from Amazon would help pay for their servicing those areas. I'm trying to figure out why Bezos is considered evil? For all their growth Amazon hasn't been that profitable yet. One of the biggest reasons is shipping costs. He has just as much right to achieve profits for his shareholders as the rest do. Wasn't so long ago that FedEx was shaking up the transportation industry. Think UPS doesn't wish FedEx had never shown up? How many businesses have been put out of business by Wal-Mart? Businesses that survived adapted. FedEx will too, but it may be a more streamlined company before this is over. The world has rapidly changed how it's doing business. Bezos was visionary enough to see online retail is the future. Brick and mortar stores still have their place, but they'll have to offer consumers something that they can't experience shopping online. [/QUOTE]
