[QUOTE="Scuba Steve, post: 1972215, member: 51466"] Amazon won't put UPS or Fed Ex out of business. The loss of Amazon volume will create job losses at UPS. It's not like Amazon will be delivering for other companies. They are internalizing their logistics to decrease reliance on other carriers. They will use UPS and Fed Ex where it is more profitable. The same way UPS uses the USPS as a last mile carrier. I foresee issues with UPS using the USPS. I expect those rates to skyrocket due to the USPS recieving a third more Amazon volume than before. Fed Ex won't have much of an issue due to the long standing agreement that FDX has with the USPS to haul their air. USPS needs FDX but doesn't have much need for UPS. In other news, seeing a ton of Amazon trailers in the road being pulled by new shiny tractors. This is volume UPS use to carry. [/QUOTE]
