[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 284045, member: 4777"] Ups had air in the 1930's. Our founder of this company wanted to continue with the service through the depression, but other people in the company thought that was a terrible idea. The service was then gone. If Ups would have kept it going, there probably would never have been a fedex as we know it today. Something else, at one time ups was also looking at dhl to help their international position, but like anything else, they didnt think it was a "good" idea. If you look at fedex, and dhl, each company is about 30-40 years old? Each have done very well, so has ups, but one has to start looking at why fedex and dhl have been able to get so big so fast, while ups has taken 100 years to do it. Each of them have used weaknesses in OUR company and built their systems around them. What is ups going to do in the next 20 years to grow our volume and maybe venture out into other interests. I personally think ups should buy tnt, and start getting into the mail business. How about paypal, that would have been a greqat business to snag up, would have gone great with ups capital, since we will be seeing more and more online shopping in the next few years. I think ups is going to have to start being like GE, where they are in many different core areas. Its interesting to think about. [/QUOTE]
