Tell me if this idea holds any weight...

The transfer is primarily designed for family members and charitable organizations.

If Jeff Bezos owns a charitable organzation? Well I know United way forms a section says if your donation is in UPS stock.

I have no idea.

Me either.

Don't you need to convert the Class A shares to B first?

Last I remember only if sell its converted. The directors could have changed it?

I'm pretty sure corporate ups has safeguards in place from someone attempting a hostile takeover of ups.

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

The shelves on the newest Freightliners are coming apart all over. They lapped the metal UNDER the outside rail so all the weight is on the rivets. Glad I have the huck gun to fix all these. Go take a look some time and you'll see what I mean. Crappy engineering.

I think that also. I however believe UPS more reactive than proactive. Someone will figure out how to take over. Fred S was a former UPS, from what I heard Fed Ex top management was ex ups management. At the time those upsers had non compete clause/disclosure agreements. They jumped ship and UPS executives did nothing to enforce those agreements at the time.

I don't think at that level they're as reactive. I think they're more proactive in protecting ups from take overs. Otherwise fedex and Fred would have tried many times. And succeeded.

Ups is very conservative and very protective of their brand.

At that they do well.

Are you actually saying that the shelves aren't designed to hold the weight of the packages?

Yes. Packages are a lot heavier on average now.

Aren't the majority of shares always held by the company somehow? So no one person or other entity would be able to own a majority.

They may have meant to...

If thats the case, is it possible for it to be a "non-hostile" take over where A shares are quickly and quietly sold off, the news is "leaked" out causing an even faster and cheaper sell off by the general public?

Can't buy class A's on the open market

I thought @IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U was talking about trimming down the 6 shelf so those oversized pkgs had more room in the middle floor area.

Rookie drinkers.

They are worth several times what UPS is worth.

And SnapChat is worth like 5 billion dollars but does not turn a profit. Hmm...
