As Amazon Air Expands, FedEx And UPS May Suffer

Amazon aims to compete with FedEx and UPS in the logistics and shipping industry. That's what analysts told CNBC after Amazon Air recently expanded to 50 planes and announced it will open a $1.5 billion air hub in Northern Kentucky in 2021. Amazon is handling up to 26% of its own shipping, meaning FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service are losing a portion of Amazon's business. FedEx says it's not worried, but Morgan Stanley reports the major shippers have already lost 2% revenue to Amazon Air.

There is a huge difference between this situation and Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Amazon isn't attempting to compete with these companies, they're trying to complete a full vertical integration of their company to save costs. As of now, they still are not trying to compete with FedEx or UPS. The reason blockbuster was killed is because they were direct competitors with the digital market.

I mean blockbuster once said that Netflix will never be a competition. So I wouldn't agree with FedEx...they better watch out

[@erickmatari.3405]

Well said

[@theRealAV8r]

Not the same. Netflix had a totally different business model altogether, ie online convenience rather than stores. Amz is just shipping their own stuff the exact same way Fedex did. The better comparison is Amz to Sears, Circuit city etc And even if they do decide to actually compete with Fedex on their turf, it would mean *massive* capital investment not in old 767s, but larger modern more capable cargo haulers, support staff, services etc. Then convincing Fedex customers they could ship the same cargo cheaper but just as securely. Possible? Sure, but not the same scenario at all.

[@Commenter839]

Blockbuster never said that. They actually listed Netflix as a real competitor for almost all of the time Netflix existed, and tried innovating early on to get ahead of the game.

[@sexyangel072]

It’s a way to not lose investors. Can you imagine how much stocks would drop if FedEx confirmed that Amazon, at this stage in their business (40 planes compared to their hundreds) IS a competition to their company?

[@DoomFinger511]

It's totally different. Blockbuster and Netflix offered the exact same service: videos. Amazon ONLY ships Amazon products. The other companies ship EVERYTHING. Amazon doesn't help anyone who needs to send out a package that wasn't bought or sold on Amazon.

[@brandon87281]

This FedEx executive's words are going to come back to haunt him in a few years.

[@zaidtaha9777]

Saying he is indeed worried or that they see it as a competitor could actually harm the company.

This is all a PR thing, if he said they were concerned about a service growing this rapidly, that would imply they think things are going to get much worse, he's saying this just to keep shareholders happy, and to an extend, he is right, FedEx is more of a premium service and Amazon is not a core customer, for UPS a similar comment should provoke some concern.

Personally I think the only threat is if Amazon gets the ability to actually ship non-Amazon packages. I also think of Microsoft and how they were attacked for much less. I don’t think there is any doubt that Amazon, while gives a lot of volume, gives very low margins. There are already capacity issues. If UPS and FedEx can fill up with higher margin stuff then it’s a win win.

[@f1y7rap]

I have had FAR more problems with Amazon package deliveries than I have had with FedEx/UPS. Amazon drivers are (at least in my area) bottom tier. They are paid the least and as such work to grind through as many packages as they can, and to do so are typically tossing packages from a distance, like its a shot-put competition

[@teerificbitch]

In the UK, Amazon have always had the best delivery service! There are a couple drivers for my specific district that I have come to know. And they literally ask me to call them if i'm out at my university, and they will drive over to pass it to me. LIKE WTF. Legit legends. And amazon's return policy is amazing and effortless. Always on the side of the customer, and they always make up for mistakes or mishaps.

So Amazon started out as an online book store, then expanded to multitude of products, which drove many retailers and competitors out of business, now Amazon sells almost any product available, they have entered the food market by buying whole foods, they have prime video streaming, music streaming, and almost any kind of streaming available, they have the Amazon Alexa, Kindle, and Amazon basics, and finally, they are entering the logistics market and shipping 26% of their products, which is slowly going to rise, and they get huge tax cuts due to big loopholes in the US tax system. This is clearly a Monopoly, a lot of companies will be going out of business in the coming future.

I have had my Amazon packages delivered by every one of the delivery services mentioned in this video. The only service that failed to complete deliveries to me is AMAZON! They failed to find my house, failed to follow directions for re-delivery, and caused me in several cases to file to return the item without ever having received it. I now receive my Amazon packages at a local 7-Eleven which has an Amazon lock box outside. My house is on a regular, well-marked, well-lit city street.

They're pretty new at doing their own shipping, so they screw up a lot. When Fed Ex was first starting up, they weren't all that great, either. Now, they're one of the gold standards for reliability. I have little doubt that Amazon will fix its mistakes, in time.

[@tristanmoller9498]

My concern with Amazon isn’t how it kills certain industries almost entirely, it’s how it kills certain stores one by one. Hear me out, Amazon has been playing dirty. If you sell your stuff on Amazon, they know which of your products are successful and which aren’t and they’ll just take the successful ones and call the manufacturer themselves. That’s why Amazon has created so many brand lines and that’s why, since a couple of years, you can buy an Apple charger for two bucks now. After they copied your product but only the successful one, they can decide how many people see your product because amazon isn’t just the vendor it’s also the marketplace. They’ll just hide the link to your product in the never ending void of “to buy suggestions”. That’s dirty and has people going bankrupt for selling at Amazon. If you have a product, don’t sell at Amazon.

i work at ups as a supervisor. on the daily my hub is probably on average loading 300,000 amazon packages per day. amazon still outsources and uses companies like ups and fed ex. reason being is that fed ex and ups have so many facilities. amazon sells their products, and finds ways to ship them, ups makes money through quantity of packages. during winter of last year we were getting at least 1 million packages out of our building a day. keep in mind that is one out of the MANY ups buildings that exist. it is about the quantity, the speed, and efficiency that will always keep ups and fed ex on top of amazon.

I worked at Amazon for 3 years while going to college. It was a horrible experience. From the time I started to the time I quit the rate of work that was expected doubled. When Amazon increased the the starting rate to $15, it removed its restricted stock units and some of the other bonuses that it use to give to its employees. In actuality it is paying less then before just that a lot of people can't do the math and think they got a good deal.

[@ElectricSpokes]

I drove truck for a company that contracted with amazon, taking a shipment for amazon, say from Dallas to Houston, it’s actually very unnerving. Amazon demands that a shipment arrive at its destination in a very short window of time. So much so that breaks to use a bathroom or eat are often skipped. Also, I never had a full trailer of goods. Most of the time, it was one pallet for the entire trailer. At least the load was light. I told my dispatcher that I no longer want amazon loads. The time demands, low miles and other factors really did not make me much. And I got sick of the constant Dallas to Houston and back traffic and boringness. I’m sure some have different experiences but as for me, it was stressful, time sensitive and not great pay.

Today Amazon has one day delivery. Something I heard about Amazon is that, say for example I go on Amazon.com and look at an item for sale today. Amazon will pre ship the item to the nearest fulfillment center, on the chance I might order that item in a few days. If I order it from Amazon a week later, it is already in the nearest center ready to ship to me. Amazing. I just ordered an item yesterday and it was delivered 30 minutes ago. When I clicked on my order status an hour ago, a map popped up stating the truck was 6 stops away. While looking at the map, the screen refreshed every 30 seconds. It updated the trucks location when it moved. When it said I was next, I walked out of my house and the truck was coming down my street. These are a few reasons that Amazon is as big with online sales as it has become.

[@warriorz9451]

[@Ibuddy66]

I used to work for one of the two companies mentioned here. Honestly, Amazon is doing the right thing for them here. The issue is that when it comes to the other shipping companies they are not always fair when it comes to commercial contracts. They also have very high rates depending on place, etc. And only fly planes at designated slots. For instance most cargo planes leave around 9pm local time once a day. That makes faster shipping somewhat impossible here without their own options. Getting other slots when most airports are limited in cargo space for the other two, is nearly impossible because of the process needed for cargo shipping. The only real solution is your own and if you're as big as Amazon, you'd be nuts not to do this.

In the UK: now, if you have prime, you can get same day (delivered before 7pm if ordered before midday) or next day delivery to your door on amazon for basically every product that is "fulfilled by amazon" (I'm split between the Midlands and South of London). From warehouse to doorstep. To me, going after conventional shipping offsite or on Amazon Marketplace (DPD, Royal Mail/Parcelforce, Yodel, FedEx) seems like just the next logical step here.
