[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4303056, member: 12508"] Bezos is owning Smith right now. Amazon has essentially "borrowed" Fred's Ground model and turned it against him. Plus, Amazon has thousands of people delivering in personal vehicles. Renting from a budget airline? If that's what you want to call it, that's pretty smart. No commitment to ownership when the market slows, and the freedom to negotiate with other providers if the cost gets too high. I'm no big fan of Bezos, because he's really just another Smith in Democratic clothing. He's cheap, anti-union, and viciously competitive, and he has Fredward on the ropes. Nobody wants to "pay" for FedEx delivery when they can get it "free" through Amazon Prime. Bezos is making his money on the product, not the delivery, and he's rapidly removing UPS, FedEx, and the USPS from the equation, thereby further controlling the narrative and the delivery industry paradigm, which is essentially being rewritten. Fred has a fleet of new Boeings he has to fill or lose his butt. Bezos leases his FLEET and has the flexibility to add or subtract aircraft or vehicles at will. Smart, and a strategy Smith cannot compete with long-term. Better start looking for another job. You're probably qualified to work at WalMart, but not Amazon because you're a 10-watt bulb. McDonald's manager? [/QUOTE]
