Title: shipping
Post by: buybestslots on January 05, 2015, 01:31:57 PM
Saw this morning   fed ex and ups  are raising rates   , fuel cost here has dropped  almost 50% if anything should they not be lowering rates
diesel was 399  , down to 239  and  big companies get 30 to 40 cents  discount off that

This is similar to how airline ticket prices have not dropped even though their biggest expense (fuel) is much less than a year ago. They'll say that other costs have gone up but really it is just about keeping the windfall. But honestly the gas prices could start jumping back up at any time if another worrisome war event occurs over there.

It already started its way back up here today. 20 cents  higher. I knew it wouldn't last very long. When they were addicted to the $4 + a gal , they sure as hell are going to find a way to get it back there ($4) or higher.
