Without Amazon, we are toast

[1989]

We survived 100+ years without Amazon.

It was closer to 93 years before amazon shipped their first pkg. but about 88 years before amazon became a consignee.

I delivered a dishwasher and two days later I had another one for the same house. Thought I was going to have a damaged call tag for the other one. Amazon told them to throw the damaged one away.

This will eventually catch up to amazon. Although they don’t make much money from the retail side anyway.

I don't know how they make money on some of that heavy ass furniture.

They don’t. If you look at their earnings report they might break even on all of the stuff they sell.


Their cloud computing business makes them a lot.

we were breaking center delivery records every day for the first 2 weeks of peak, rolling work just about every day, with almost 100 routes going out. then it "slowed" for about a week, the company panicked and sent rentals back, fired the helper coordinators, wanted routes cut... then we got slammed again the last week before xmas. So you coulda fooled me with the "slow peak" business

That fiasco was mostly the fault of Amazon. They bit off more than they could chew and blamed us. Horrible weather compounded the issue. ALL carriers failed. The following year we added capacity, seasonals, and drivers and cruised through peak (like this year) while FedEx floundered AGAIN. Amazon will ruin Xmas if they ever try to deliver more than a small fraction. They'll always need help

Fed express never floundered as we stayed 2 days ahead. Good try tho

Fedex put a hard cap on how much they’d accept from amazon and stuck to it.


Ups said yeah flood our system we will take it all.
