[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] FedEx seems to be able to profitably deliver packages to "remote areas". [/ QUOTE ] I think you'll find that even FedEx has 'loss leaders' [/ QUOTE ] Probably. Is this somehow *helping* your argument? |

Probably. Is this somehow *helping* your argument? [/ QUOTE ] No. But it wasn't meant to. I'm just pointing out an inconsistancy as earlier you said [ QUOTE ] FedEx seems to be able to profitably deliver packages to "remote areas". I don't really see a problem here. Is package delievery to the yukon some sort of basic human right that I'm supposed to pay for? [/ QUOTE ] So quite *probably* you do accept that you are 'overcharged' by FedEx on their more profitable routes to compensate for their unprofitable ones. |

[/ QUOTE ] FedEx may find that the loss they take on package delivery to bumblefuck, montana is more than made up for by the increased business they get from a large-scale customers who ship tons of stuff on highly profitable routes, but *require* the occaisional package deliver to the middle of nowhere, and therefore will take their entire business elsewhere if a vendor will not deliver there. How is this inconsistent? If I am subsidizing FedEx delivery, and I get sick of it, I can go find another delivery service that only delivers where I want it. I'm not *forced* to subsidize it. |
