US giant Amazon, the largest online retailer in the world, has a new ambition – to deliver through its own powers the parcels it owns and those of the partners in the platform as well – entering this way into collision with its incumbent partners, including UPS and FedEX, writes the Wall Street Journal.

‘The objective of Amazon is that at some point it will be able to reach to deliver single parcels of his and those of other retailers or even to customers, thus ending the traditional relations between sellers and courier companies,’ writes the Wall Street Journal, citing sources close to Amazon.

Companies in the logistics industry, however, are skeptical that Amazon will be able to invest the sums necessary to build a network able to compete with the big players like DHL or FedEX.

FedEx annually spends more than 5 billion dollars on expansion and UPS more than $2.5 billion. The two companies have more than 4,000 centers management packages and operate a fleet of over 1,000 aircraft and 200,000 vehicles.

Amazon.com founder is Jeff Bezos (1994), which was launched in online in 1995. It started selling books online and continued with products like VHS, DVD, music CDs, software, electronics, clothing, furniture, toys etc. The company created separate websites in Canada, the UK, Germany, France, China, and Japan.

Amazon is absolutely necessary for some people for not everyone has the time to go shopping, or simply doesn’t enjoy the action of going out in a crowded mall.
