UPS to cut its amazon business by more than 50%

[oldngray]

I think you’re onto something. If 10 percent of the people used e-commerce and we used to have 90 percent of it. Is UPS in worse shape if they now have 50 percent share, but e-commerce is now an 85 percent share?

Why not stop all retail stops, only be a commercial to commercial company?

And layoff 80 percent of the workforce

Seems to be the direction they are heading.

I give UPS about 3 more years. It's like they WANT to go out of business.

That’s exactly what RPS started out as.

Yep
Had consignee billing and tracking also. A few of our ”special” preloaders took a while to figure out all the green consignee billing lables(WalMart/Pennys) didn’t go to the same stop. Plenty of Ni1 and closed by them. Still the case now.

Plenty since they churn and burn, and use Flex

I saw an article once about a leaked report from Amazon that said they would soon be running out of people to hire and employ since they’re churning and burning through them so quickly

Leaked Amazon memo warns the company is running out of people to hire

Unions might not be the tech giant’s biggest labor threat.

I'm thinking someone might have been thinking, let them have it. Down the road, if we don't, we're gonna have to build all kinds of new buildings, a zillion trucks, drivers, etc. They knew the volume was coming. They didn't want it. They're doing what they decided years ago.

Who are you talking about in this part? Ups, Amazon or fed ex?

Hopefully, unless they get H1Bs

Wow. That’s probably the best response on this thread.
It’s a complicated topic. Fortunately we just punch in, run the route and enjoy the check.
Let em run the business the way they want. We’re going make fifty bucks an hour soon. Hee ha

You are showing your age.

I hated those stops and printing out those invoice papers of what they were getting.

Scan it and send it is what it seems to be about.

Penneys was the only one where my center used the printer I believe. 30-90 pieces a day. Preload probably hated them also since they had to weigh them.
Consignee has been gone a long time. 25-30 years.

Appreciate the response.
Some of the younger people won’t even know what we’re talking about. Truth be told I don’t miss those old days. Total waste of time how we used to do it.

The problem is they're running it in the ground.
