but think about how much technology has helped Fedex. Think ebay, and all the ecommerce stores. They have to mail the products some how. Many are using Fedex to do so.
actually it has hurt fedex more than helped, so far.

the fedex revenue model WAS based on multiple packages (primarlily documents delivered overnight) to single addy's in densely populated business districts.

e-commerce shipments are single unit deliveries primarily to multiple residential addy's.

they've had to fundamentally change the way they do business,
not easy to do
