Demand is elastic
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.
The conclusion of the price of elasticity of demand is the effect of price change based on the revenue it receives. It is based off the demand of the product and the price of the product.
for elasticity less than one the demand will be inelastic, i.e there will be very less effect of price on the demand.It will be relative inelastic or inelastic.
Cross price elasticity of demand measures how much demand of one good, say x changes when the price of another good, say y changes, holding everything else constant. For example, you can measure what happens to the demand of bread when the price of milk changes. The cross price elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in the quantity demanded of good x divided by the percentage change in the price of good y. If the cross price elasticity is negative, then we call such goods Complements (example: pizza and soft drinks -- they are consumed together). If the cross price elasticity is positive, then we call such goods Substitutes (example: pizza and burgers -- you usually consume either or). The income elasticity of demand measures the change in the quantity demanded of some good, when the income changes, holding everything else constant. For example you can measure what happens to the demand for expensive red wine when income increases. The income elasticity is calculated as the percentage change in the quantity demanded of the good divided by the percentage change in income. If the income elasticity for a good is positive we call them normal goods. It can be between 0 and 1, and we call it income inelastic demand for goods such as food, clothing, newspaper. If it is above 1, we call it income elastic demand. Examples are the red wine, cruises, jewelry, art, etc. If the income elasticity is negative, this means that as income increases, the quantity demanded for those goods actually decreases, we call those goods inferior goods. Examples are "Ramen noodles", cheap red wine, potatoes, rice. etc.
horigontal demand curve means perfectly elasticity..i.e ed=infinity.in this case price is fixed and what ever change in demand will not effect the price.it can be said that supply of good in not limited in this case..i.e why it not effect the price with change in demand.

There are plenty of factors affecting elasticity of demand including climate of the area. Other factors that effect elasticity of demand include supply and group of people buying.

P. Cumperayot has written: 'Analysis of the effect of demand elasticity on spot prices for electricity'
cross effect is positive in substitution effect and negative in complementry goods
In a monopoly, substitutes are usually limited or nonexistent, as the monopolist is the sole provider of a particular good or service in the market. This lack of alternatives allows the monopolist to set prices without concern for competition, as consumers have few or no options to turn to. Consequently, demand for the monopolist's product tends to be inelastic, meaning that changes in price have a relatively small effect on the quantity demanded. Overall, the absence of substitutes is a key characteristic that reinforces the monopolist's market power.
The unique demand behavior of a Giffen good in the market is influenced by factors such as the lack of close substitutes, income effect outweighing the substitution effect, and the necessity of the good for basic needs.

AKA Infinite elasticity of demand. Means a change in price will not effect quantity demanded. Such as necessary goods/services to survival.
