UPS in laptop fixing business?

[Vladimir Lenin]

Did you know that UPS has a warehouse in Louisville where they fix laptops for Toshiba? Apparently, Toshiba outsources their tech support to UPS and all of the refurbs and warranty items go there for overhaul via UPS packaging. Once overhauled, they are back out through the sort in Louisville.

brilliant!!!

and on top of that, they have the largest Bentley parts stock in the world...ready to be shipped via...you guessed it, UPS...now that's diversification

Its called Supply chain solutions. It is a Xmillion square foot facility about a mile or two from the airport. They have many other companies they work with to speed the process. I wanna say Nike.com is one as well....

You make it sound so complex....UPS picks the components up at the factory and BRINGS them to their warehouses....Manufacturer out of loop....

i think it's a very smart business decision that allows them to diversify

does FedEx do anything similar?
