FedEx increases profits, demands more money for E-commerce deliveries, scoffs at Amazon's ability to compete at freight carriage: link Time to invest in UPS, DHL? |

When I order I specificly ask not to use FedEx.
They try once naturallt when people are not at home.
Then I have to travel to another city to gey my package.
Some others have a drop off spot in my city that I can collect my package. |

They scoff at their peril. |

USPS already delivers Amazon stuff on Sundays. Expand the program, buh-bye FedEx stock value… |

This seems ill advised but who knows? Where I live, it seems the choice is USPS (slow but safe and okay priced), Fedex (fast and expensive), UPS (slow AND expensive). Maybe its just the local office being garbage though. |

USPS over FedEx over UPS. |

Some of what the FedEx guys said was reasonable, but the assertion that Amazon wouldn't be able to develop their own delivery system if they were so inclined was absurd…. Their companies very existence proves that it is doable. |

As long as it isn't that drone delivery silliness… ;-) |

That's FedEx execs and their party line, for shareholder consumption. They've pretty much gotta say that to keep their stock price up. |

And UPS scoffed at FEDEX years ago. Amazon is hiring a lot of my old coworkers ( I worked for FDX for 15 years until I came across a bigoted boss) Hope Amazon goes after them and is successful. Still bitter after all these years. |

A company that takes on massive debt and gets hit by legal costs. Yeah, I'd buy stock in that. Amazon as a shipping company shouldn't surprise anyone who followed Amazon Web Services, which started as an internal IT and now offers services for other companies needing IT services: link |

Fedex and UPS tends to drop most packages off at the Post office for delivery if they are light and small. Big boxes, they still deliver. |
