[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 538223, member: 18471"] You forgot FedEx Home Delivery, another IC covering the same area as ground, home does not deliver on Mondays, but they do on Saturdays. Don't forget too that although IC's are doing the deliveries, at least in my area there are 2 different hubs. Express and Ground if the 3 divisions were combined there may be some loss of drivers, probably the IC's. There's all the sorters, etc. involved in the ground operation that I'm sure some would get absorbed if the companies were combined. I'm sure Fred and Company have been brainstorming this whole scenario and would probably implement the changes relatively smoothly. The reason's they don't do it now is $$$$, the IC model just puts more money in their pockets, (not the IC's, Fred's pockets). Perhaps the poorer service is why FedEx lost LL Bean. I've ordered stuff from other places that now seem to ship UPS instead of FedEx. When FedEx home can't seem to find me there tracking says, "no one home or business closed". I've called the shipper and told them I was home and UPS seems to have no problem finding me whether it's a new driver, cover driver, whatever. I guess if the IC's spends more than 5 min looking for an address the just mark it no one home. [/QUOTE]
