[QUOTE="ppHATE, post: 4565895, member: 42329"] This whole thread is laughable. If this is the level of reasoning that UPS “partners” can come up with we’re friend*cked. Lol. The idea that UPS needs Amazon or Amazon needs UPS is something you all need to let go off. If the past 30 years of watching big business in America has not taught you that anything is doable for the right price then aint much else to say really. The true problem is that UPS (with a front row seat to the US economy) missed the opportunity to change its business and operational model to meet the needs of growing e-commerce and shift away from B2B. So now we’re playing catch-up in a pandemic that’s hastened a trend that was already under way. No one smart seriously thinks all these people who got used to have sh1t delivered is going to go back to physical stores once outside reopens. If the problem aint Amazon it will be whatever the next big thing is. Hence why all these big retailers (Walmart, Target etc) are investing in their own delivery infrastructure. Because UPS, Fedex and USPS simply haven’t and can’t pivot quick enough to what was a growing trend and now is a changed world. Now process the fact that Amazon is already 3-4 years ahead in building there own sh1t. Target and Walmart won’t be too far behind. All these companies are going to do the same thing Amazon is doing which is protect the premium customers (Prime) and give the filler to third party. Hence why Amazon could care less about a few trailers in MA. John across the street has Prime and he got his package delivered in 2 days by a dude in a Benz truck making $18 per hour.
