You all make good and bad points but this thread is pointless since we have no say in anything at ups

We might as well be talking about what we will do if we won the lottery , because that has a better chance of happening then ups listening to us

Maybe if I was @turdferguson but not as a package car driver.

Amazon will buy the best regional carrier in each area. Infrastructure is mostly complete. Wages are low. A sales rep said that's their biggest fear. All the regionals getting together. That would end us. They'll do it all for half the price at one third the wage.

Amazon is in way over their head. Give it time

You cant have a million different projects and be successful at all of them.

Look at how hard it is for UPS and Fed EX to please its customers and all we do is ship packages. Could you imagine having subcontractor carriers making $10 an hour and they have a two hour window to deliver the package....yeah

Amazon is already being sued by the prime drivers.

Amazon understands that the more aspects of your business you control, the better, and it's getting closer to becoming less dependent on shipping carriers. Two reports out this week provide a fascinating look at what the retail giant is doing to build out its own logistics infrastructure and how it could impact the USPS, UPS, DHL, and FedEx

Mark Solomon writes in DC VELOCITY, "Amazon.com Inc. has begun the process of assembling a high-level executive team to lead the e company's push to develop its own transportation network, according to a person familiar with its strategy and planned execution."

And this is when you'll see both fedex and ups raise Amazons rates and put them in a corner. They won't have an as efficient transit time network and it'll hurt amazons ability to make service.

At least that's what they should do. They need to view Amazon as both a customer but also a threat. And when Amazon starts boasting how they'll deliver, we partner exclusively with their biggest competitor and raise Amazons rate.

Eventually people get tired of having cheap crappy service, its good for a brief period of time but look at McDonalds closing stores and having issues everywhere.

Im not sure the percentage of amazon we actually do but I wish both Fed ex would put them in a bind by refusing to ship their products. Send it all to the post office lol. that would be a sight to see

MCD problems is the food is not crappy service. The food is not considered healthy. Chipotle which at one point was owned by MCD is taking away thier customers, cause the food is consider healthier.

They just need to be successful at the core business projects.

Here is the Nike and Reebok story.

Nike and Reebok at one point dominated the athletic wear market. Then Under Armor founded in 1996 got into the business. Today UA is the number 2 in Athletic wear sales.

Amazon delivery at some point will become threat. The writings on the wall push sales leads, EC packages that can't make service, so no refunds are done, ETC.

It may take take years to achive it. JB will find away to make it work.
