postal service and to a lesser extent dhl. other issues in europe , which goes more up against deutsche post with its acquisition of tnt. that has not been executed as well as management initially hoped. a lot of that had to do with cyberattacks that paralyze the company four years ago. they are reeling from that and had to pull forward with a lot of investments to help tnt get back on better footing. we think the tnt acquisition, while it is going slowly, longer term should provide value for fedex and its shippers and deepen fedex penetration into the european parcel market. vonnie: much appreciated and a great story. let's check where european stocks have settled as we had to break. most of the indices are lower. up .5%.ve the ftse mib the ibex down .7%. the dax and germinate giving back .9% of the gains. the cac 40 ending the session down .4%. s.a.p. the worst performer in the dax, down 3% or 4%. in paris the worst performer in the cac 40, l'oreal and some of the luxury stocks like lvmh are all down about 2%. this is bloomb

like many other companies, dhl and you have some others, u.p.s.at more packages are coming in making it nearly impossible to get them all out on time. u.p.s., fedex, pick your shipper baa t but the plemessage is the same. they are getting crushed and online shopping so to blame. >> we're taking vacation and my husband ordered a sleeping bag from amazon three weeks ago and it's not here yet. we're going to have to go to rei later tonight. >> reporter: u.p. says blames weather but says he's experiencing record shipping volumes. fedex tells nbc bay area that it is experiencing some of the highest volume days in the company's history. same issues with the company on track which is a bit off track at the moment but says it's woo working hard to restore normal services. all are adding shifts and working longer hours. for traditional brick and mortar businesses like this mom and pop shop, the backlog is an opportunity to draw some clouds back for some old fashioned in person shopping. >> this is amazing. >> get a personal touch. we get traffic in here. w

you have amazon, ups, dhl, all joining new york city in this effort. why? because starting in 2021, there's going to be a congestion charge from 60th street south trying to keep your car, my car, anyone's car out, especially the commercial vehicles, and they are going to charge commercial trucks as much as $25 on these electronic tolls and $14 for passenger vehicles. so bike programs. what we need in new york city is more bikes flying through crosswalks. that's all i'm going to say about this. these bikes use large containers attached. they are going to try it out to see how it works and maybe to get more traffic off the streets and of course, more bikes. terrorizing the roadways. stuart: it's practical and there's nothing wrong with it. ashley: a lot cheaper than fuel. stuart: this show is rapidly becoming the impeachment and delivery show. susan: that is the future. ashley: deliver impeachment. stuart: you're laughing away there, shah gilani. why don't you come back in. what are you laughing at? >> i mean, those are the subjects i think people think are g

ups, dhl, amazon, fedex and more, they're deploying entire fleets of planes, drones, delivery bikes andhe shipping wars for your dollars. who is ahead who is falling behind in that last mile delivery race. joining us jason deldelray jason, welcome. >> thank you. >> i recently got an amazon package delivered to my house by a nice individual in her car it was a private citizen in her nissan pathfinder the carriers cannot hantdsing the growth of capacity that amazon is seeing >> if they can do it maybe she's sick one day if fedex and uchl p.s. have a sick driver, they will replace that driver to make sure i get the package. >> correct behind the scene this thing is chaotic. amazon is trying to get their dl deliveries as quickly as possible amazon is scrambling they are very efficient but they are scrambling to fulfill these promises they are ramping up two day delivery for many years and then next day delivery and now same day delivery. >> they innovations are forces walmart, target and others to follow we are impatient we want it now we get angry when wi-fi doesn't work on an airplane. 36

. >> well, fedex did buy tnt, which is more of a global -- kind of a mini-dhl and you wonder if that'sot been a working out deal for them. >> they made that acquisition back in 2016 for $4.4 billion. a company based in netherlands this is supposed to be the way fedex gains a bigger footprint in europe. but the integration process of tnt has taken much longer than expected and i think that's one of the big headwinds fedex has face oefe faced overseas so it has to double down on investments. in fact, over the last five years, it's increased -- it's increased its number of facilities by at least 100 or so. >> by a lot of money. >> by a lot. >> a lot of money. >> with that, comes weaker sales, higher cost. >> well, coincidence or not, the fedex stock started to go south a few years ago around the time that they bought tnt so i don't know whether that's -- >> tnt has been not dynamite. >> it was not dynamite for them. >> next up, apparently the way to an investor's heart is through their dog's stomach. general mills beating profit estimates boosted by 16% jump in the sales of its blue buffa

mind, i could just see them buying maersk or they have so much cash, could they pick up a portion of dhl? >> i think that's absolutely an option for them. they are going to buy things where it's appropriate, where they can fill in the gaps. once they meet their own demand and their own services, i wouldn't be surprised they start selling off their own shipping to other companies and just become another competitor here. this is something, amazon is a massive company now. they are everywhere. you mentioned a few, there's the whole ring doorbell situation that's going on with privacy concerns and it's becoming a little orwellian. we have to balance between convenience and just having a single company control everything. but amazon so far has been threading that needle. that's what's kind of scary here. liz: alexa can see you all naked. that's all i have to say. good to see you, daniel. thank you very much. >>> peloton's tv wife is getting an even bigger surprise this holiday season. with 20 minutes to go until the closing bell rings, actress monica ruiz making a bold move into a whole new w

extent it is, because if you look at what dhl is, an international express company, this just like fedex, but it was bought by the equivalent to the u.s. postal service. has the merged company best of both worlds. they know how to do international express and they also know how to deliver to people at the doorstep. so at the time when people, consumers increasingly want small packages at different hours and are never home, you need to know how to get that stuff to these people. if you are a mail delivery company, you know how to do that. informative, richard weiss, thank you so much. i want to show a chart i have been making up here while francine was getting the show going. i was making a chart. this is boeing and fedex combined. this is the best chart i have ever made -- no, francine -- but the basic idea is normalized back two or three years, fedex has been a slow grind over that last 18 months, just completely missing the good performance of ups in america. and also standard & poor's 500. on bonds, which we will go over in the next section. stephen, what have you changed in the last
