AAAHHHHH.... Nope. I bet there are more than a few of their contractors that could fill a suggestion box, or three, about how to better distribute those funds. LMAO :D

It was Fedex corporate, not CC... reading the comments on the Facebook page was hilarious. Their site crashed from so many people logging in, and people got absolutely vicious over $25 lol.

Ummmm - anyone else wondering why one of the biggest corporate entities is shelling out a million bucks to promote SMALL businesses?
I mean, why aren't they taking their own advice?:confused:

Why would a shipping company try to promote small business? More small business is more freight to ship. Makes sense to me.

Huh? If I get a $25 card and spend it locally at a small business: bakery or hairdresser or hardware shop, how does that benefit shipping?

Makes sense to me.

Even if it made perfect sense, it's still hilarious: the biggest of big businesses shilling for 'small business' - I wonder if they'll promote the concept on their jumbo jets and at FedEx Field, too.....:rolleyes:

We had a load offer once to ship a cake. GOOD paying load too. NYC to the Biltmore estate. I have shipped for Hickory Farm, 3 stores. Denny's, 15 stores. Delivered a safe to a gas station/pizza shop. Delivered and picked up paintings at private homes. Delivered a TV to a private house. A good 25% OR MORE of our business is into or out of small business.

Small business RULES!! If I ran FedEx I would be pushing them as well. MORE business, more shipping. More shipping, more work for me.
