E-Commerce's Biggest Obstacle May Be Slow Postal Services (thestreet.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the always-ringing-twice dept.

Long-time Slashdot reader rudy_wayne writes: J.C. Penney CEO Marvin Ellison recently said that e-commerce companies' biggest challenge is that they are all expanding their businesses and pushing for faster delivery, but UPS, Fedex and especially the United States Postal Service aren't able to keep up, at least not at same cost that exists today, because they're not increasing their delivery capacity at the same rate e-commerce is growing, He said this will cause a supply and demand issue "that's going to be apparent here pretty soon."

    This post was censored to -1 less than two minutes after I posted it. Moderation is censorship, by definition, no matter how much you right wing retards deny it. Whenever someone points out that moderation is censorship, people respond angrily like you just kicked their dog. The right wingers are just desperate to preserve their asinine echo chamber that lets them pretend Trump actually got a majority of votes and that climate change isn't happening. Please retreat to your Fox News safe space and stop censoring my posts to -1.
