Why not have a single company for delivery of packages, for all package delivery companies e.g. FedEx, UPS and DHL. Cut the number of vehicles on the road.Save the cost for each company.

<sarcasm>The single firm markets worked great for Russia and the rest of the communist world. I wish I could only buy one brand of cereal too. What is with all of the choices in this country?</sarcasm>
Dude, wiki "free market" and learn about the benefits of competition.
I agree with free markets, but I am thinking only thinking about more efficiencies out of delivery services, and hence reduced costs to customers. One negative is that the visibility of UPS and FedEx will be greatly affected.
That would basically boil down to a monopoly one way or another.
Not really. The courier companies (FEDEX etc) would find another ways to differentiate themselves. The package would still say FEDEX or UPS. They would simply deliver the package to this local delivery company, who would do the rounds of the local area to deliver to the end user.Does the end user really care who put the package on his door?One other draw back is that the issue of responsibility shifts from one company to two?
