Imagine if only Fedex got to decide who got free shipping?

  Fedex probably does charge different prices to different shippers. Which I think for the purposes of the comparison you are making is the same thing (that is, Fedex does make exclusive deals that are advantageous to Fedex).

    Different prices, sure. Free shipping, not so much.
    • maxerickson 11y ago
      Doesn't the exclusivity matter more than the free?
      • amazon_not 11y ago
        No. If Fedex won't deal with you then you can always go to UPS. Free is the kingmaker. If Fedex is free, you will do whatever it takes to get on their "good boy" list. You cannot afford to pay for shipping if your competitors are getting it for free.

          will do whatever it takes to get on their "good boy" list That isn't true. If Fedex charges good boys $0 and everyone else $10, everyone else will only bother with the good boy list if it will save them the $10 per item.

            You kind of made my point there. This pricing structure will deter anybody from competing in the market that cannot absorb the cost of making it onto the good boy list.
