Lack of competition would raise the likelihood of eventual declines in service. Better for Amazon to put pressure on UPS to do a better job of running their business than to eliminate them all together.
- 8note 10y agoim surprised that in each of these cases, the same company is used to deliver the package? why dont they send the first try with UPS, and the second with FedEx or someone else?
- williamscales 10y agoI don't know. That would make a lot of sense. One time, I had a package coming via Amazon Logistics. It was marked as delivered but was not there. I asked for it to be sent via a different carrier but their customer service said they couldn't control that. I guess nobody has built that feature yet. :(
- wskinner 10y agoPerhaps it is USPS that should be exposed to competition [1]. If other carriers were permitted to ship to mailboxes, I have no doubt they would provide a better service. Note I am referring to the United States Postal Service (government run), not United Parcel Service.
