[QUOTE="Star B, post: 3041549, member: 61246"] Not exactly. Simply put, gotta burn gas to get the package in the air. There is a point where the ROI on the added weight of the big, bulky :censored: that amazon gives us negates any profit that we may make. Is it OK to make a penny a package a hundred thousands times over or a dollar a package for a thousand? I'd take the dollar because... well, less thru the system, more profit. It makes sense if there is the extra space to give and still be very profitable, but the fact is that they give us the big, bulky :censored: that the post office won't take...... increased damages to other packages, loss of space and the extra manpower to handle it. Another way to look at it is this.... flat letters/poly packs. You can stuff 400 of those in a doc bag and it wont' make a major dent in the weight, now take 400 boxes, avg 25lbs a piece... that's an additional 5 tons of freight that may take a AKE or three. What do you think FX would rather have? They'd take the poly packs because that's wasted space. Those AKEs could be used for moving XS/P2 vs holding it off till the next flight out. Amazon freight is a love/hate. Love the fact that it can fill in gap drive time, hate it because it may cause long gap drive time. [/QUOTE]
