FedEx will no longer provide express shipping for Amazon in the US
It looks like FedEx Express (the air division of FedEx) is ending its contract with Amazon. Right now the Ground division in unaffected, but I wonder if they will soon follow suit. Could this stall Amazon's One-Day Prime shipping promise? I know FedEx is in the distant minority of nationwide Prime shipments, but now Amazon will have fewer options.
I very rarely get Amazon orders that ship FedEx except if they ship directly from a third party seller (not an Amazon warehouse), I mostly get Amazon Logistics followed by the US Postal Service, with some UPS and OnTrac scattered in.
I have read FedEx actually won a recent contract with Target, unseating UPS. I wonder if this could be part of the reason why they are ending their Express contract with Amazon since the Target contract might be more profitable for them (since they are only a small portion of overall Amazon shipments).
