[QUOTE="Floridacargocat, post: 1357142, member: 6168"] What counts - even in a so-called third-world country - is distribution and getting it to the customer. UPS is investing in distribution - one way or the other - but it will have to overcome entrenched infrastructures and vested interests. It depends on UPS personnel to demonstrate - day by day - that it will be able to deliver. The ""goat cart" in a third world country" should be seen under the aspect of "adjusting to changing conditions" (example Venice/Italy - you do the distribution by gondolas, sibstituting for the "classic" package car.) If the OP would have been exposed to conditions in a country and city like New Delhi, Bombay (sorry Mumbai), Madras (sorry Chennai), then he might realize that the classic package car is not the most suitable vehicle for an efficient distribution, once he/she/it has been exposed to local traffic conditions. The final "last mile" distribution by "oxcart" might not be the worst and least cost-efficient idea. [/QUOTE]
