I wonder if this is part of a wider trend of Amazon having difficult with its first party delivery network outside the US. They started doing first party deliveries here over 2023/2024 and while that worked well during the year, it really didn't over the Christmas period - delivery windows got much longer than they did last Christmas so for all of December even with Prime you were looking at delivery estimates several weeks away, and I've noticed in January an increase in the number of Amazon deliveries being delivered by third party shipping companies again.

You might be surprised, but if you look at their published quarter remarks even as recent as 2023, Amazon had a operating loss of $0.1 billion in Q3 2023 for the International Segment. Amazon is a success in the USA mostly. AWS of course is a different story.
