Looks like you shut @DieHardUPSER up.

Amazing what posting facts, written in black and white, can do.

Reading comprehension will help all of you very much. My comment stated profits are down domestically. You and all others quoted sources referencing revenue. Revenue does not equal profits. Yes revenue rose however due to higher costs the profits actually fell. See link below

The CFO of UPS disagrees with you.

United Parcel Service (UPS) Q3 2018 Results - Earnings Call Transcript


Richard N. Peretz - CFO United Parcel Service, Inc.

U.S. Domestic third quarter operating profit was $949 million as planned higher pension expense and project-related costs continued to weigh on the results as we expand our network. Importantly, the segment made sequential improvements and year-over-year operating leverage. In fact, for the third quarter, our operating profit continues to improve. Adjusting for pension impact, operating profit including planned investment cost would be up in 2018.
