[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1977238, member: 29298"] I would assume they wouldn't. I would take this news as they think they can do it cheaper. If they can do it for the same cost or cheaper, why would they raise freight prices to consumers? That isn't how Amazon's been operating. It would be a bit funny if they did start their own carrier service and then start charging for freight, customers will then say "Please can we have UPS, Fedex and USPS back with free 2 day?". There are two possible wins for them, will they get one or both? 1. Save money. 2. More timely delivery. It is all possible it is just a complimentary seasonal style service to handle the bumps in the road which carriers aren't willing to risk at the price Amazon is willing to pay them. [/QUOTE]
