A new report claims Amazon will take on FedEx and UPS with its own delivery business.
The news: The Wall Street Journal says Amazon will roll out a delivery service in Los Angeles in the coming weeks. Called Shipping With Amazon, it will initially handle transportation of packages from third-party sellers to their customers. It will reportedly roll out more widely later on, eventually handling deliveries for other businesses, too.
A long time coming: Frankly, it was only a matter of time before the tech giant took over delivery of its goods. Last year Amazon tested what was essentially a trial of this service, with the goal of getting more goods to customers inside two days.
