[QUOTE="Rack em, post: 4585675, member: 60861"] Well I don't know for 100% fact that amazon is having their way with us to the extent I think. I just know there is no way amazon is paying for the shipping charges based on the prime membership fee, so they either have to have another source that funds the shipping fee and they losing their ass right now on shipping. OR Ups is giving them a very good deal, which I believe is the case since amazon stock keeps going up and bezos keeps accumulating billions of dollars by the week. I asked my supervisor a little over a year ago what Ups charges amazon for a NDA saver envelope since that type of crap is clogging up our air system. He said maybe $3.75-$4.00 which is cheap as hell. I know we process a lot of their volume which helps make up for the cheap cost of shipping, but that isn't going to work out well for us in the long run. Amazon is using us right now to build their company until they get a real delivery network up and going. After that they will drop us because they can deliver their own crap and then they will try to come after our other accounts too. So in essence they are walking all over us, we should be charging them at least $2 more per package with how much volume we deliver for them. This not only makes Ups more money, but it takes money away from a company that is actively trying to take over the shipping and delivery business.
