[QUOTE="TUT, post: 2775605, member: 29298"] Sales are selling Fedex services and are the conduit to your customers, if Fedex doesn't want them they should abandoned them. Since they don't, all this is guessing on what they really want or not, or what a station wants or doesn't, or a person wants or doesn't, that to me is people feeling the part of a job being a job. It's work. Not everything is ideal for you. They raise these accessorial rates (exactly like UPS) each year. People not in the position to speak as Fedex keep saying they still don't want them. There has to be a price they do and it has to be here or damn close. So what is going to happen? This is comedy here... the carrier will get it to a price they want finally, but that will then be too high. The customers will find another way and with the lost business, now Fedex (UPS to) will drop the prices on these services to get these packages back. CONFIRMING: THEY DO WANT THOSE PACKAGES! You have to admit that is how the world spins and can totally see that happening. If there was ever a price put out there to make shippers go elsewhere for these packages, for most that elsewhere is LTL. My gosh, they could still raise the prices a lot, because today it is still out of sight sending a small singular package to a residence LTL. At some point these additional service fees would have to be considered the gold stamped money winners that carriers would convent the most, not the easy low margin B2B ones. So what is next on the horizon, Fedex has stated publicly they are now targeting more profitable small and medium sized customers. So what's the next complaint? Too many small sized pickups, it is killing us, we can't manage it, we don't really want those either. But that is what Fedex brass is saying they want. I have to go with the O-Razer part, what looks to be the simplest answer is usually the correct one, Fedex wants those packages and loves those additional fee's, those services and prices are coming from the top of Fedex.
