[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3038955, member: 24302"] They get discounts because of the volume they do. If a shipper like Amazon realizes that even with the volume discount they could do better cutting out the middle man they'll do exactly what Amazon is doing. If FedEx and UPS try to stop that by charging full fare they'll hasten the process and may even lose the rural business that does help pay for other rural deliveries. Man at one of the companies I'm applying to said Amazon accounts for 12-13% of UPS' business. Probably less for Express but still substantial. They aren't going to risk losing everything by bullying Amazon. [/QUOTE]
