Amazon Expands Delivery Trial That Could Hurt FedEx, UPS - Bloomberg

Amazon.com Inc. is expanding a service launched to make more groceries, cleaning supplies and other products available for quick delivery directly from merchants without overwhelming the e-commerce giant’s warehouses with additional inventory, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg.

The trial pushes Amazon’s logistical reach beyond its own facilities and into those of its merchants, encroaching on services of long-time delivery partners United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp. Amazon is enticing the sellers who use the company’s online marketplace with lower delivery costs, logistics software, warehouse inspections and recommendations.

Hurry up and get it running, I'm sick of driving around their crap. No more talk, lets just see action. Wouldn't break my heart to see NO amazon parcels waiting for me each morning.

Their delivery service that they have been using sucks, both the company and the contractor. This will go down in flames

I wouldn't bet on that.
The total Loaded cost for their delivery drivers (no pickups) is probably $15/hr versus the $65/hr for a UPS Driver.

Based on their delivery on - time numbers. People claim packages never delivered and days if not weeks late. People won’t put up with that
