FedEx postal contract ends in 2008--Will they get it again?

Uh, read for content much? My post is what you call an absurd joke, which is not meant to be taken seriously.

You need to start playing...

I also thought it was obvious.

Some get wound up pretty tight around here.

TAZ absolutely, positively cannot stay away from any thread with FDX in the title.

If you don't think the USPS is monitoring this thread, you are wrong. Be careful what you post and TAZ please exit.

Don't forget that FedEx just started the international postal contract last summer. Read between the lines.

What international postal contract??

 

[seefive]

the seven year contract is domestic mail. US international mail is a different contract which fedex took over last summer from DHL.

c'mon fly...............stirring the pot about something you have little knowledge of other than reading a 4 year old press release isn't the best way to "probe". To answer your question, FedEx's 98+% reliability rate provided to the post office is well ahead of their 95% goal. USPS has actually shown a profit since this contract took effect. FedEx isn't going to lose this contract.

Since what you say makes perfect sense, look for the Gubermint to do the exact opposite.

Don't forget the Mitch Mcconnell is the senior senator from Kentucky and I think the #2 Senator or some such position.

But Bill Frist is the Senate majority leader, so we have that going for us.

Take this for what you will, but I was there and personally heard it with my own ears. Late last year I was in a company workshop and one of the speakers was the president of UPS Airlines. A question was raised asking if UPS would go after the postal contract when it expires. He answered by saying that UPS was VERY interested in bidding on the contract. So much so, he said that UPS' bid would be so "competetive" that if UPS did not get the contract, whoever would get it would not make a dime. He said that UPS now realizes how much revenue the contract brings in and they definately want it.

I gotta ask.. if UPS was so interested in the contract why didn't they go after it in the first place? One thing to talk about it at a "workshop", whole different animal to actually execute it.

No doubt UPS wants the contract. I would be surprised if they don't get some of the mail.
