[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4160440, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ttnews.com/articles/amazon-fedex-split-sets-battle-lines-e-commerce-delivery-feud'][B]Amazon-FedEx Split Sets Battle Lines in E-Commerce Delivery Feud - TT News[/B][/URL] FedEx Corp.’s retreat from handling packages for Amazon.com Inc. signals that the lines are being drawn in the battle over surging e-commerce shipments. The end of two delivery contracts with Amazon means FedEx will have to make up for the lost sales by extending a push to serve other customers such as Walmart Inc. Amazon will have to rely more on United Parcel Service Inc. and the U.S. Postal Service as it seeks to fulfill a pledge for next-day delivery to top customers — and build out its own shipping network. The decision “represents the continued ‘drawing of a line’ in the sand between FedEx and arrangements/partnerships that do not fit its network,” Ben Hartford, an analyst with Robert W. Baird, said in a note to clients Wednesday. “FedEx will work to optimize and protect its network, while strengthening relationships with more strategically important customers.” [/QUOTE]
