A dysfunctional parcel carrier formed if rivals Federal Express and United Parcel Service were to merge: collectively FedEx, UPS and anything similarly situated.
The idea of a consolidated parcel carrier FedUPS began to gain currency when a 15-day US labour dispute at United Package Smashers in 1997 managed to overload and break other carriers. Effectively, control of most of the parcel marketplace by two dominant carriers allows either to disrupt not only the entire US domestic parcel handling industry but package handling in every other country with garbage to ship to the US. That leaves small mail-order vendors vulnerable.
Taking one piece out of the puzzle overloads anything else that was still running. It happened in 1997, it came close to happening again in 2017. The more that FedEX and UPS look like one monolithic, accountable-to-no-one behemoth, the more the result becomes less competition and more widespread dissatisfaction... leaving everyone entirely FedUP.

Get the fedgoons mug.An acronym for "That ! Fucken Everyday Mood." or "Fucken Everyday Mood." Unlike a temporary feeling, FEDM represents a consistent, unbreakable state of mind. It describes the act of grinding and fighting through the struggle every single day, regardless of how tired, overwhelmed, or difficult life gets.
It’s the "keep moving" energy. It’s for the people who are exhausted but refused to be defeated, turning the daily battle into their standard operating procedure.
