U.S. Confirms Parcel-Delivery Probe - Wall Street Journal
The Justice Department confirmed Monday that it is conducting an investigation into possible anticompetitive behavior in the parcel-delivery market.
UPS and FedEx have said the probe stems from allegations, first outlined in a pending lawsuit filed against them over the summer by AFMS LLC, a Portland, Ore., consulting firm, that they improperly cooperated to freeze out third-party shipping negotiators and consultants.
