[QUOTE="brown metal coffin, post: 4748447, member: 38727"] Folks keep saying over and over that we are making pennies on the dollar off amazon or we are loosing money. Before rate increases and the fees for shipping over the 25,000 packages in any week for peak we were making $6.00 per ground piece and $10 per air piece and it costs Amazon $3.00 per package to do it themselves in house. Keep mind we hit them again with the returns (call tags) at another $6.00 a piece. Even in the rural areas not to mention the cities; Amazon has so much density that we are most times already going to a location and they are tagging along for the ride to the same address much like surepost. We are making Billions and I mean Billions of dollars a year of packages of places we are already going to be at. I absolutely assure you we are not losing money especially crushing earnings the way we do. They are not going anywhere and we control the narrative and the price. Now in addition to them doing one day shipping they have now crawled into bed with us even deeper. Let's not leave out that you will only see amazon buildings in heavy metropolitan areas as they have no plans to build hubs out in the midwest and lower population areas so to speak and that is our specialty. We have 3 amazon buildings within a 25 mile radius of us (distribution center, big item delivery center and small package delivery center) and we haven't lost not a step in upstate new york. As a matter of fact people are going full time right off the street when it took me 10 years because of the volume.
