Good for them.  There&#x27;s no real competition between Fedex and UPS.  Both raise their rates around 5% every year, even with fuel costs dropping dramatically.   The claims process is specifically designed to be difficult.<p>Might be more interesting if Amazon decides to open up to outside customers and re-instates real competition.  Both UPS and Fedex had better rates and service when DHL was still competing with intra-US shipments.
