[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1095074, member: 24302"] Is there a regional carrier providing excellent, dependable service? Not long ago someone mentioned a company on the West Coast as an example of a threat to FedEx. Can't remember their name but at the time I Googled them and found alot of complaints about service. Yes, we all get complaints but not like that. My point above isn't why would someone pick Ground over UPS, it's why is UPS worried about FedEx Ground if their prices are essentially the same? It's the 800 lb gorilla in the room that Ground has much lower operating costs and thus can offer lower prices. If they don't have the capacity now they must be close, otherwise FedEx wouldn't have put on the big show last October. If they are charging the same prices don't expect that to last. It's why big volume shippers will switch to Ground even if they are only saving a dollar a pkg. It adds up. [/QUOTE]
