[QUOTE="35years, post: 4065464, member: 60822"] Alibaba's push into the U.S. market has already provided a boost to the United States Postal Service, as the two sides reached an agreement in 2015 in which USPS treats all packages from Alibaba as priority mail. This means U.S. customers can receive orders from Alibaba's e-commerce sites more quickly than in previous years. More importantly, the agreement makes USPS the exclusive last-mile delivery partner for Alibaba in the U.S., which eliminates other carriers such as FedEx and UPS that used to ship for Alibaba. From a business insider article This was a huge missed opportunity for UPS. I have ordered direct from China....same products as Amazon without the middleman. Cost was 1/3. Amazon's monopoly will not stand long. [/QUOTE]
