Thats the Fedex model.
Everything goes through Memphis. If you send a package from San Francisco to Oakland it goes to Memphis first.
NEVER ship anything important through USPS!!! I can't emphasize that enough. Some of you will remember my thread about someone ripping off my wife's (g/f at the time) pearl necklace, and no one doing anything about it or holding anyone accountable. Fucking goddamn lazy, worthless leaches. And people wonder why they're fucking going bankrupt. Be grateful for UPS and FedEx! Are they perfect? No, but please don't put yourself in the position to get fucked over like I did.
I gotta love the postal rant from ogmike
They are going broke because the brain trust has never charged enough.
But when they do go broke and you have to pay fed ex or ups 8 bucks to send 1 letter, come back here and tell us how great those companies are. Yeah yeah i know, you dont need to send letters, well a hell of a lot of people still do in the country.
maybe you should have paid insurance on your wifes pearls, because you would have for sure got your money back and thats a fact.

I flew overnight freight for UPS (and others like Emery and Purolator) when they were using contract pilots to keep the Teamsters out (until they realized just how much the "contractors" were ripping them off) back in the mid 1980's.
the ONLY reason UPS started an overnight service is because the FedEx model PRINTS MONEY esp compared to passenger carriers. the ONLY "airline" stocks that I would EVER invest in are FDX, UPS and LUV (Southwest Airlines) and I would be cautious about LUV. the revenue per flight for BOTH FDX and UPS is unreal. it's about 20X that for a passenger carrier.
like ANY company FDX or UPS they will screw up now and then BUT the "business model" is GREAT. the ONLY companies with more "free cash flow" that those two are the "Five Families" oil companies. stock market "powerhouse" Apple Computer doesn't even come CLOSE.
