Package delay in Christmas shopping season

The delay in the Christmas shopping season and the reliance on UPS and FedEx's two mainstream express companies may be why Amazon is trying to build its own logistics.

Retail giant Amazon is testing its "last mile" express service in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. This not only allows users to control the location and timing of the pick-up, but Amazon's planning in this area will eventually cut costs and deliver service on the day in more cities. The company has established its own logistics network in the UK. EBay and Google are making similar attempts.

WSJ also mentions that Amazon is a "few years" away from a mature American Express company. "Amazon is growing faster than UPS and FedEx, and both have taken on most of the logistics work," the company said. So in this sense, Amazon cannot rely solely on the services of traditional logistics companies. This will limit our growth, pull high costs, and hinder innovation. ”
