[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5817485, member: 58386"] That's the new FDX strategy. Shippers pay more and get less. Shippers will pay as much as they've always paid for 10:30 service but get their shipment at around noon or so. It's similar to my small town newspaper. A couple of months back I renewed my subscription then just the other day I was informed that it will no longer publish a Monday addition. I paid for 6 day a week service but now will only receive 5 for the same subscription fee. FDX is telling customers the same thing...."Now you're going to pay on the basis of 10:30 delivery but we won't show up there until around noon and since everyone will be out for lunch we'll wait until 1 to arrive with your stuff." When Fat Freddy and Raj the Jackal dreamed up this little caper of throwing their air box onto Ground It would appear that they never realized that out in rural America Ground jocks are still running 250 mile a day routes and perhaps more. As a result they can't wait around until the middle of the morning for the air box to arrive and still cover those huge routes some of which extend across multiple counties get their pickups and still get back in time to catch the outbound. , Rest assure those Ground jocks are not going to tolerate seeing their 9 hour days become 12 hour days for the same money. Perhaps now Fat Freddy, Raj and the boys are finally waking up to the realization that what they've got on their hands is the mother of all cluster fornications and they just don't know what to do about. Perhaps it's why seasoned traders including Jim Cramer are not quite so enthusiastic about FDX as they once were and some are bailing on it. [/QUOTE]
