The issue with the A-380 in the Cargo world (Fed-Ex/Ups) was twofold. It was going to take many years for Airbus to develope the freighter version, and the added weight of strengthening the floors to handle cargo made the jet unprofitable. A 777 Or MD-11 was a lot more profitable. Also the specialized equipment for loading a double decker was problematic too.

Heard something similar to that also, that an upper deck was not cargo conducive and would have probably ended up as wasted space
