[quote user="CMStPnP"] He is correct both Fed Ed and UPS are increasing their package routing via USPS. You can find the chart and percentage in less time if you Google it yourself instead of posting back and forth about it.   I already ran across it BUT guess what.....I'm not posting the link in this case as it is readily available within 5 min or less of a search.   You can even guess what source to look at as I mentioned it eariler in three letters.    If you Email me $50 via paypal I will post the link for you so you can go over the percentages and data.   Since you seem to be addicted to that stuff. <img style="display:inline;" alt="Big Smile" /> [/quote] Your right!  I prefer informed opinions, i.e. supported with verifable data, as opposed to off the wall slap shots. I ran a search on per cent of FedEx and UPS packages delivered the last mile by USPS.   I got a description of FedEx's program, and I found a number of stories on USPS's efforts to expand their package delivery business.  But none of them mentioned the number or percentage of packages delivered the last mile by USPS. According to a December 2014 story in Reuters, USA, USPS hired a marketing guru from Coca-Cola in 2013 to ramp up its package delivery business.  USPS needs to find other sources of revenue to offset the loss of revenue associated with first class mail.  According to ShipMatrix Inc., USPS accounted for 59.2 per cent of e-commerce deliveried in 2013.  It does not define e-commerce or indicate the types of packages delivered by USPS vs. FedEx and UPS. E-commerce, for example, does not include the numereous intra and inter business items delivered by FedEx and UPS. The USPS numbers are for the whole delivery from point of origin to point of delivery. Not a word about the percentage of FedEx and UPS packages delivered the last mile by USPS!  The reason you are not posting the link, I presume, is because you don't have one that answers my question.  At this point, however, we are off subject, so I will leave it at that.   People who make or imply a claim but don't back it up with data have an opinion.  And that is all they have.  My question was simple.  No hidden agenda!  What percentage of the packages sent by UPS and FedEx go the last mile via USPS?
