Peter Larsen, vice president of Amazon Supply Chain Services, stated the company aims to provide businesses access to the same cost efficiency, reliability, and speed built for Amazon customers.
- Supported by more than 80,000 trailers, more than 24,000 intermodal containers, and more than 100 aircraft, the network provides freight, distribution, and fulfillment services with time-sensitive shipments, simplified booking, and customs clearance.
- Competing directly against UPS and FedEx, Amazon has already attracted Proctor and Gamble, 3M, Lands End, and American Eagle Outfitters to use the service for freight, warehousing, and parcel delivery.
- Service offerings span healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and retail industries. Parcel shipping supports orders from multiple sales channels with two- to five-day delivery speeds and seven-day-a-week service to position inventory closer to demand.
