Amazon will eventually take over UPS , question is how long

[Coldfeer234]

they are taking the steps to do so and it's obvious. they just bought shipping companies in europe, they are buying trucks, cargo etc......

They are on a quest to rule the commerce world.

The question is when do you think this will start effecting UPS and our jobs?

Don't believe everything you read. Amazon is full of hyped up predictions. Mostly to please shareholders.

-Amazon only accounts for 1.9% of revenue and .07% of profit

Amazon is moving to become more self-sufficient and increase their margins. Good for them.

When I started JC Penneys was our largest account and now they're not - I still have a job.

Here's a fact. Recently posted to this site as a UPS headline:

Worried analysts question Amazon's logistics plans

In the wake of Amazon.com Inc's disappointing financial results that sent shares plunging Thursday, analysts blamed rising costs to deliver goods, which increased to $4.5 billion in the quarter, up 24.4 percent from the same quarter last year.

And they sharply questioned the company's plans to continue to make heavy investments in logistics, even at the expense of profits.

They wondered why it was planning to buy more assets like trucks, and reportedly to lease jets, and worried it planned to spend the money to take on shippers like United Parcel Service Inc.

Don't be a victim of the hype machine. Amazon needs to keep it going to keep their stock from crashing.
