Entrepreneurs seemed the alarm on the financial consequences of Sunday deliveries.
Fedex initially announced that he would start to make Sunday deliveriesservice all year round In January 2020 after having delivered seven days earlier during peak seasons, according toThe Washington Post. The same year, the shipping company expanded this service to manage the increase in residential deliveries made in the middle of the pandemic locks.

But as the volume of the Fedex packages has dropped considerably, the entrepreneurs have complained that a small volume on Sunday makes the seven -day service a financial burden for the company.Spencer Patton, the owner of Patton Logistics, who manages approximately 225 FEDEX floor delivery routes in 10 states, published a letter on July 20 exhorting Fedex to "Revaluate his commitment to Sunday deliveries"In order to help its service providers under contract in difficulty (CSP).
"The rapid introduction of Sunday deliveries on a national scale has created important operational, technological and financial strains for the Fedex land and its CSPs," wrote Patton. "According to our estimates, Sunday deliveries cost FedEx's ground more than $ 500 million trained in profits. This figure of $ 500 million is getting worse. Likewise, Sunday deliveries have erased more than third parties of the margins beneficiaries of the CSP in less than a year. In parallel way, this erosion of the margin aggravates, does not improve.

Fedex refused to say what areas in the United States will lose Sunday deliveries, according toWall Street's journal.

According to the Maritime Company, almost 80% of the American population will still receive deliveries on Sunday. "This will allow Fedex Ground to increase efficiency while maintaining a competitive advantage in weekend coverage" by reaching a large part of the population, said Fedex.
