[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by gabe It has nothing to do with liking or not liking your answer--or disagreeing with it for that matter. I just felt as though I was unable to convey my premise of what is the point of shaving a few hours off when transport takes a few weeks. I was merely conveying my belief that I was not able to convey my premise--not an expression of not liking your answer. Gabe [/quote] Well, ships may not have to compete with trucks, but trains have no choice...so if the truck is gonna promise 20 hour transit from point A to point B, and the customer sees value in that, the the train has 2 choices....go after that business, or surrender it. I'll tell you what I think is irrelevant....the time it takes on the ship compared to the time spent in land transit. Regardless if it takes 20 or 30 days to cross the pacific, thats gonna be out of your (the customers) hands But once the freight reaches US soil, the customer has options that he has some degree of control over,...and if the perceived value (of getting the order delivered sooner) is motivating to the customer sufficient that they will pay the premium for expedited service..."WHY NOT" offer the service?
