[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3038988, member: 24302"] But we aren't Amazon's competition, we're their partner. And they're determining that the partnership needs reworking. You'll still get those heavy boxes lol. But the vast majority of their pkgs are small and light. Smaller delivery companies with much less overhead can get the job done for less. And FedEx gets it's share of breaks from gov't too. Otherwise it would've been unionized many years ago. The volume that they can easily do themselves is in the metro areas. If they lose their volume discounts you don't think they can't quickly find other delivery companies willing to deliver for them? And they are a huge chunk of UPS' business. With eventual union negotiations think UPS is looking to possibly lose that business? They'll take whatever Amazon is willing to give them. [/QUOTE]
