Elasticity in the context of UPS and FedEx refers to how sensitive the demand for their shipping services is to changes in price. If the demand is elastic, a small increase in shipping rates could lead to a significant drop in the quantity of services demanded, as customers might seek cheaper alternatives. Conversely, if the demand is inelastic, price changes have little effect on demand, indicating that customers are willing to pay higher prices for reliable and timely delivery. Factors influencing this elasticity include the availability of substitutes, the urgency of shipping needs, and the overall economic environment.
That depends on what you are trying to ship. If it's just a paper then fed ex is cheaper. If its an actual package you should go through UPS instead.
