According to an article in Fast Company magazine last year, L.L. Bean ships 12 million packages a year. If UPS is winning this business even at the low end of the shipping price (say $4.00 a package), that's a nice bit of new business for UPS--$48 million/year and a big loss for FedEx.
"Feb. 9, 2009 - UPS has been selected as the primary package delivery carrier for L.L.Bean, the 97-year-old outdoor apparel and equipment company.
The move, effective Feb. 23, follows a lengthy evaluation process. UPS will provide both ground and air service to deliver the orders of L.L.Bean customers shopping through the famed retailer's catalogs as well as online."
