That only means the 'last mile' (figurative here) is done by Amazon. I believe there may still be third parties in between depending on the item/location.
- lostapathy 6y agoI think that's even less likely to be true - Amazon had been doing long-haul trucking for quite a few years and letting UPS/Fedex/USPS do last mile delivery for them. I can't imagine they went backwards on that just because they ramped up last mile delivery.
- hef19898 6y agoIn Germany Amazon is using third party carriers for the the first and middle mile of their own courier network, meaning the route from the FC to a sort center and between sort centers. That these trucks are Amazon branded doesn't mean they are owned and operated by them. This is not the core business of UPS and FedEx, so.
