[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3485130, member: 1"] [URL='https://footwearnews.com/2018/business/news/ups-transformation-plan-earnings-1202555428/'][B]How UPS Is Coping With the Country’s Online Shopping Habit - Footwear News[/B][/URL] United Parcel Service is making moves to accommodate our collective habit of getting everything delivered to our front doors. The company plans on reducing costs and driving growth in its operations, responding to increasing parcel volumes and competition from Amazon, which expects to roll out its own logistics network beginning this year. It’s also adapting to another new normal: delivery to individual consumers has now overtaken delivery to businesses (a segment for which UPS is still the leading provider), a more expensive undertaking because of the difference in density, with drivers dropping off one or two packages to an address rather than a few dozen. In fact, online shopping drove a 4.6 increase in parcel volumes for the company’s U.S. domestic service in the first quarter. [/QUOTE]
