[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 79021, member: 1912"] how did fdx increase their profits? One analysts answer was: [COLOR=navy]The average estimates of analysts polled by Thomson First Call were for earnings of $1.40 a share on revenue of $8.07 billion. [/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]"The major contributing factors were the fuel surcharges, which have really helped revenue growth ... and pretty strong volume growth in the international business," said Zacks Investment Research analyst Ann Heffron. "It was a very strong quarter."[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][/COLOR] [COLOR=black]How long I wonder before your shippers figure out that your fuel charges which should be used to offset the high cost of fuel is actually being used to inflate fdx's profit results?[/COLOR] I saw a nice little presentation at a meeting I attended last year that showed how fdx works the pricing. Fdx publishes rates that are almost a dollar cheaper than ups. However by the time you throw in all the surcharges fdx puts on each delivery such as the fuel and residential surcharges it was actually more expensive to ship the package with fdx then ups. The question is how long before your shippers figure out how the game is played. I'm sure many of your shippers read the finance section and possibly saw the quote from Ann Hefron that credited your fuel surcharges for the improvement in profit. [/QUOTE]
