Is Amazon delivering in your area yet? If so, has your volume dropped at the hub?

[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 3417498, member: 50088"] I fail to see how Amazon saves money delivering their own crap. Particularly if they're implementing company vans rather than drivers using their own beaters. While Amazon orders hit a lot of homes, it's no where near the density we hit delivering from all shippers. Profitability is very much about density in the delivery business. Seems to me that whatever average rates UPS charges Amazon per package, that cost is a lot less than sending Amazon drivers delivering one stop every 5-10 minutes. This may be a moot point if Amazon is strictly focused on big cities. [/QUOTE]
