[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3659384, member: 44288"] I was forced into never using Fed Ex again about 10 years ago. I worked for an international building controls company and made friends with the OKC head of Fed Ex. After a few months, he called me to ask if we would like to bid on a security, access control, fire alarm package for all the Fed Ex properties in Oklahoma. I and my colleagues worked on that proposal for a year, visiting all the sites in Oklahoma. I wanted to keep it controlled out of the Oklahoma office but headquarters at Dallas overruled me. They crunched all the numbers and sent out a bid to Fed Ex. I saw the numbers and thought it was a very accurate number considering the amount of parts and smarts we were providing. The day of the bid opening came and since Dallas was the principal, their senior business manager attended. I was not invited. Thank God too! It seems my company did business with both UPS and Fed Ex. Well, Dallas' mail room sent that [I]multi million dollar one inch thick bid to specifications packet[/I] to Fed Ex corporate via UPS.
