UPS & TNT

[business] have bought [business] Express for £6.77 Billion.<br><br>Hopefully they'll put their prices up and encourage people you use sameday couriers a little bit more.<br>

The combined company will pass [business] in size. As [business] grows, consumers and businesses will likely pay more to ship packages because there will be less competition around the globe.<br><br>All good news for us i think.<br>

I heard £4.5 bn<br>

Yeah Could be i forgot it was in $$$$$$$<br>

[business] attempted to buy out [business] a few yrs ago &amp; [business] held on to there fort looks like the ever growing competion out there has made it harder for [business] to compete against &amp; forced them in to a sell out to [business].&nbsp;<div>The transfer over is gonna be Intresting with loads of parcels going missing forcing the customers to use Sameday knowing that there goods shall arrive safely, but for [business] could not have times it better in time for the Olympics being the main logistical partner of the 2012 Olympic games in London.&nbsp;</div>

Jesus&nbsp; They are all at it.<br><br>[business] has just bought [business]..<br>

Well in a slowing economy the easiest way to get growth is to buy it.<div>Acquasitions give you a load more customers, but you don't then need 2 of everything, so redundancies follow...but if i had a spare £4.5 billion i'm sure i could make a lot more use of it than that!!!!!</div>

That's true always after a takeover they shed staff soon after,<br><br>Some even tell fibs as well.<br><br>When [business] bought [business] the promised everything will remain the same.<br><br>A year later they started to close plants and move production to europe,.<br><br>I always avoid [business] goods and especially fair trade goods,<br>
