[QUOTE="nforcr, post: 453218, member: 9923"] Simply put UPS SCS is a warehousing and distribution arm of UPS. They actually become part of the customers (Toshiba, Nikon, Sprint, etc) supply chain to help them more efficiently get their product to the customer. SCS offers a solution to the customer and every part of that solution has a price tag attached to it. You want SCS to build the corrugation for your Xbox? Ok, that'll be $$$. You want SCS to put your phone in a box with charger, earpiece and printed material? Ok, that'll be $$$$, etc. It's all based on a profit and loss statement for each account (rather than one big PnL for UPS as a whole). Very sleek business model with big margins. Interesting enough you are just as likely to see FedEx trucks at the docks as you are UPS trucks. Many of the customers manage their own transportation and avoid UPS because of the higher shipping rates and tend to go with smaller feeder networks to move their freight. [/QUOTE]
