[QUOTE="RPSman, post: 1978503, member: 51437"] Amazon will build their own package delivery system in the future. The best way to do it would be by acquiring or working with the current regional parcel companies who cover a large percentage of the population centers in the USA. For remote deliveries, they could use the USPS, like RPS did before achieving 100% USA coverage in 1996. 1997 UPS strikers have themselves to blame for FDX's rapid rise. If they had not gone out on strike, Fed Ex and Caliber Systems (Roadway Services-less Roadway Express) would not have merged. As to the DHL failure, that was because Airborne Express was an overnight letter and small box express carrier, and did not have the infrastructure to compete in heavy package volume. Amazon is a lot smarter than Deutsche Post, and would be able to build the infrastructure needed, evidenced by their acquisition of wide body cargo jets. For additional ground capacity, they could always contract with Con Way Freight or Con Way Truckload, similar to what APX Logistics (old American Package Express) contracted with Werner, Inc. to move shipments.
