Why UPS Need Not Fear Amazon - SeekingAlpha

Summary

Amazon's efforts to build its own delivery network are seen as a threat to UPS.

However, Amazon is not the only retailer in the market.

Going forward, UPS will see increased business from other retailers and direct selling companies.

I don't think Amazon's delivery network is scary to UPS. What should be scary is Amazon putting UPS' customers out of business.

It seems more like Amazon is trying to expand into a new premium market and not attempting to compete with cheaper grocery stores.

Amazon trying to get into so many things, stands to reason they will stub there toe sometime. Grocery business is low margin and cutthroat.

Sometimes a company gets into too many things and ends up hurting the company. Take GE for example.
