Honestly, it's sit and wait for the Amazon thing to happen. The USPS will keep taking it on and start having to work 6 days a week in order to accommodate the volume for just Amazon alone. Eventually they will have to have drivers deliver only Amazon, which means more money, more trucks, more maintenance on the trucks. They'll see they can't handle the volume eventually and will have to dump some of it somehow. If they don't and they keep taking it in, they'll eventually sink on their own. Amazon will drop them as they fall behind on their deliveries. Fedex can't handle all the volume, so it leaves us as the last major player in the game.
Until Amazon gets their own network of buildings, trucks, planes and everything else involved, I don't think we'll lose it 100%. But, I do believe that we'll be sitting and waiting for a little while until it falls back to us. And when it does, we'll have become stagnant with less routes out and less drivers. They'll go into a hiring frenzy to get more drivers on the road to take care of the volume that's coming back to us. From what I can tell, Amazon hasn't changed in my building much at all, if any. We have more of an issue of getting Surepost into mailbags and not on the routes.
I'm pretty sure it'll be a wait and see game of how long until it comes back to UPS, not a "will we ever get it back" type of situation.
And if this doesn't make sense, it's 3:45 AM and my 2 year old has been up on and off throughout the night due to molars coming in. I apologize in advance.
