Amazon Takes Another Shot at FedEx
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is flexing its muscles once again in logistics.
After the e-commerce giant ended $900 million worth of contracts with FedEx (NYSE: FDX) earlier this year, it's found a new way to hammer its logistics rival. According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon is now blocking its third-party sellers from using FedEx Ground for Prime deliveries, which are generally supposed to arrive within one day.
Amazon's reasoning for the move was that FedEx Ground and Home were not fast enough to get customers their packages reliably on time. In an email to its vendors, Amazon told them they were not allowed to use FedEx Ground or Home "until the delivery performance of these ship methods improves." They can still use FedEx Express.
