[QUOTE="dex 84, post: 1834063, member: 59952"] I wonder about this sometimes. FXG doesn't really have anywhere you can walk in and be a customer of theirs. You can go to Kinko's or FXE and ship Ground, and from what I've seen there is a lot of Ground coming through both those companies. There might be a simple answer to this but how do they determine how much of the revenue of these packages belongs to Ground and how much to Express or Kinko's? It reminds me of back when I worked retail and I noticed that certain products were always on sale for below cost, yet we kept getting more of them every week. The retail price would be $25, the cost to us was about $12, and they were on sale at least 3 weeks a month if not 4 for $10. This went on for years. My best theory was that we were getting some sort of bonus from the manufacturer for selling a certain number of units. All I know is no company is in business to lose money so if it doesn't add up there has to be something extra in the equation that we're not privy to. [/QUOTE]
