I wish UPS would spend some money on upgrading our capacity.

Ever heard of Saturday delivery?

Ever heard of Saturday delivery?

Yes. But we new some serious building upgrades. We can't handle the size of this freight.

I wonder if Besos ever said, I dont want to compete with Walmart. I just want to sell a lot of books."

Not publicly. That I'm aware of.

 

[Wally]

What does that mean?

I don't know, but it sure sounds like fancy city talkin'. That I've must be a financial guru?

Anyway, buy it or not, still have to deal with the Teamsters.

Do you expect Bezos to hold a press conference to announce his intentions of becoming a Dark Overlord?

Yes. But we new some serious building upgrades. We can't handle the size of this freight.

those treadmills are more profitable though....for them.

Top of the list of "What Brown can do for me": Take all the treadmills and sofas and cabinets and bow flexes and trampolines. Thank you.

Amazon blows past earnings estimates, shares pop 12%

Isn't that the first quarter they made money in 10 years?

 

[Indecisi0n]

Are we losing Amazon?

I think so.

We have one freaking belt. One seriously over worked belt.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

We have one freaking belt. One seriously over worked belt.

We have lots of belts and box lines. Just not enough room.

Let it out a notch, you'll feel better

UPS has a lot of real value in equipment and property. Most of the tech companies are floating on promises and dreams.

I always got the impression that UPS leased most of their buildings and didn't actually own them. That's how come they don't put a nickel into improving them after they move in. The local building here has had two MAJOR fires and both times they more or less painted over the soot. Contractor friends who rebuilt them couldn't believe how cheap UPS wanted everything done.

They do seem to lease more since the stock went public. More focus on short term savings instead of long term costs.

I wish UPS would spend some money on upgrading our capacity.

...and what if they spend all of that money and the capacity has been overestimated...?

Plus those shelves aren't designed to hold all the weight. They look good on paper but fail in the real world.

Starting my 28th year and have yet to have or hear of a shelf every failing.

Then they would be able to decrease time in transit.

I saw it happen many times. Frequent dents and some where the shelves broke away from support brackets.

We've been over capacity for years.
