Default FedEx acquires Shoprunner

I’ve been a member of ShopRunner for over a year and it’s great for name brand items. I think it’s a great move

Probably more an acquisition for the technology than for market share?

Likely. They can acquire the capability and scale it up if desired. Easier than building from scratch.

I don’t think it was a technology play...we already have VIPS, the gold standard of internet based applications. I’m shocked Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Oracle aren’t in an all out bidding war just to acquire us for that.

They're too busy dedicating their time to fellating Amazon to be capable of making a fair analysis.

Probably the same "analyst" clown who said at this time last year that FedEx would be gone within 18-24 months.

If it wasn’t for The Rona he may not have been too far off.
