Anonymous Distributor: Thought-provoking comments, a little satire and wit, and sometimes a challenge or two from an anonymous distributor

摘要

What we are willing to pay for something we want has no relationship to the actual cost of the item, but rather the value it has to us. In a typical December, parcel carriers see their volumes peak mid-month. Last Christmas, however, more shoppers waited until the last minute. Amazon Prime customers, for example, believed they had no reason to order early. In short, the December peak happened as forecast, but within this multi-week peak, was a much bigger spike in activity concentrated in the last few days before Christmas that was just too big for UPS, in particular, to handle.
