[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1311132, member: 29298"] 1. Truth on Airport runways. This is the bottle neck. 2. Bending reality about Fedex's situation being worse. They may have turned back Amazon, but there are like another million customers in the world, they weren't turned down. They also had the same issue of retailers worrying about their bottom line above all else, selling anything at the 12th hour promising what cannot be done. Everyone in the last days move their shipments from ground over to air, thinking they can make up time for late orders. The only hope you have is that Retailers/Buyers learn. 3. The Amazon doubling down, if true imo just proves the really have no choice in the matter and no matter what UPS or Fedex does. If retailers are going to act like they did last year, expect the same, a double down on that if there is bad weather. It Retailers and Consumers are going to have the same habits each year, it will become obvious to most of us, learn and adapt. Those that continue to repeat the same thing over and over... well they just can't be all that smart. News will wane over time because they'll bring on a consumer expert at the beginning of each Dec and tell the masses "Order your stuff X days ahead of time, to make sure you have it", thus they told the masses and if they don't listen it's their issue, no need to point elsewhere, you were warned. This is far from the only things in our lives we have to plan out. Bet on a lot of news next Dec about consumers being told "order early". [/QUOTE]
