[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 1315285, member: 7328"] I agree with Upstate on this one...I was talking to a few driver friends of mine about this the other day when we were discussing Amazon and their attempts to remove us from the equation. I said that for all we know, UPS already has wheels in motion to become a bigger online retailer than Amazon. We already make a profit on what they lose money on. To be honest, I seriously doubt UPS is worried at all about them. You can post losses for only so long before the bill is due. You're starting to see the panic in their actions. They raised the price of Prime by $20 and are trying their best to find a way to ship at a lower cost. It isn't working by the way. Eventually, investors will start to see the writing on the wall and bail if they don't start to get a positive cash flow. UPS posts profits over and over again, is solidly respected (thanks in no small part to us drivers, who are the face of UPS) and has shown in the past that when it does something, it will find a way to make it profitable or they won't do it. Our corporate bigwigs might be a bit cold-hearted at times but there is one thing that they are not...and that is foolish when it comes to money. [/QUOTE]
