I'm curious whether they could save a substantial amount of money by moving Full Trailers instead of LTL or having UPS/FedEx do it. A full trailer can cost them as much as $1200 from CA to TX where as UPS or FedEx would charge much more. So by distributing between distribution centers they would probably save some money. I also think having planes will greatly reduce the time it takes to bring items from China. ATM it can take 10-14 days on the water via container ship. They could probably load the equivalent of 2-3 40' Containers in a plane and fly it to CA for the same price a cargo company would charge.
It's not necessary to replace UPS or FedEx, just the parts that cost Amazon the most money and are easily replaceable.
