  • Wall Street Journal Article
    Amazon, in Threat to UPS, Tries Its Own Deliveries; An Alternative to Shippers Like FedEx and UPS, New Service Could Deliver Goods the Same Day as Purchased Bensinger, Greg . Wall Street Journal (Online) ; New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]24 Apr 2014: n/a. ProQuest document link ABSTRACT The move is a shot across the bow of United Parcel Service Inc., FedEx Corp. and the U.S. Postal Service, which now deliver the majority of Amazon packages. Customer-service representatives and former employees say those codes designate Amazon's in-house delivery network. FULL TEXT The future of Amazon.com Inc. is hiding in plain sight in a San Francisco parking lot. Adjacent to recently closed Candlestick Park, Amazon is testing its own delivery network for the "last mile," the final leg of a package's journey to consumers' doorsteps. Trucks loaded with Amazon packages and driven by Amazon-supervised contractors leave for addresses around San Francisco. Similar efforts are under way in Los Angeles and New York. Delivering its own packages will give Amazon, stung by Christmas shipping delays, more control over the shopping experience. It can also help contain shipping expenses, which have grown as a percentage of sales each year since 2009, according to securities filings. On Thursday, Amazon reported another quarter of skimpy profit even as sales increased 23% to $19.74 billion. Shipping costs rose 31%, and it also spent on cloud computing and new initiatives. The company reported a first- quarter profit of $108 million, compared with $82 million a year earlier.
