Apparently they no longer buy fuel for their delivery trucks because those costs have plummeted.
They are retiring diesel trucks for alternate fuel vehicles as fast as possible.

The theory of capitalism is not that sellers charge what they must, but charge what they can. Prices are fixed at the highest level at which bottom-feeding consumers can be persuaded to pay.
Fuel prices have plummeted and their costs are increasing? Now that is creative management.
As more stuff is shipped by people ignoring their local store more people are being hired to move things from a to b. And it is the people, the assistant driver who ran packages for your regular UPS driver during December which has caused the loss of profit.
USPS is way better anyway. A non-profit company is going to cost less than a for-profit company. Duhhhh!
