[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 3885540, member: 14940"] Oh how new employees think....Amazon hurts us far more than they help us. It’s all in the margins....and with them it’s horrible. Low paying customer who wants priority over higher paying customer.....and you think this is good business for us. We’ve had to hire more and buy more capacity just to fulfill our obligations to this low margin customer. In 2013 they screwed up...our culpability was that we didn’t say no. They’d have 7-10 trailers show up unannounced on top of their planned volume. They knew full well what we could and couldn’t do. Well look at the post office this year.....look familiar. Bottom line is that what we do is a commodity and should be priced accordingly to the laws of supply and demand. The losses at the post office will be staggering this peak and then perhaps people will understand that there truly is no such thing as “free shipping”. [/QUOTE]
