[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 88604, member: 2020"] What would have happened if the company that owned MBE before UPS bought them went bankrupt ( I beleive it was American Stationary??) before UPS bailed them out---where would those MBE/UPS Store be?? Maybe the UPS Gold Shield program, where all stores have to charge the same rate brings in less revenue to the stores-----this should not be the only source of revenue to these stores---how about monies that the stores bring in for private post office boxes--packaging supplies---copies/faxes?? I have been in a MBE store prior to UPS buying them---and even though the MBE Store was getting a 40% discount on what UPS would be charging---the MBE Stores would add another 40% and "Gouge" the customer----so yes some of the UPS Stores/MBE locations are not making the same 50-100% profit on the customer--------if UPS had not purchased MBE , do you think that customers would not be breaking down the FedEx Kinko doors to ship packages-------and guess what----customers are not going to the UPS Stores/MBE Stores because they can get similar service--if not better customer service there---and it is CHEAPER--as n lower rates than what the UPS Stores are charging!! I really think that the locations that are complaining should get out of the business--sell their franchise and get into something that they can charge the customer whatever they want to!! I have also seen MBE locations that provide horrible service and the people running them should not be dealing with the public!! [/QUOTE]
