Will Amazon Kill FedEx?

Man, FedEx killed the USPS, now it's Amazon with the club.

Starting in September 2015, people in the city noticed more planes flying in and out of the airport, loading and unloading those black-wrapped boxes. This March, Amazon announced that it was leasing 20 Boeing 767s from Air Transport Services Group, a cargo company that operates out of the air park. Amazon had also negotiated an option to buy nearly 20 percent of the company. “We’re excited to supplement our existing delivery network with a great new provider, ATSG, by adding 20 planes to ensure air cargo capacity to support one- and two-day delivery,” Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president for worldwide operations, said in a statement at the time. Amazon denies wrapping its boxes in black during the trial period.

Most of the stuff I order still comes via USPS (US Mail to those who may not know). When I order from Amazon Prime it's always delivered by UPS. I haven't had a FedEx guy knock on my door in ages.

Amazon has announced it will start delivering food to Prime subs in the London area. :hmmm:

I doubt that they'll kill Fed Ex.
Fed Ex has guys who can make fire, pull their own teeth and create a ball buddy when stranded.

WILSON!!!!!:doh:
