FedEx, Amazon strike large-package delivery deal
- Amazon and FedEx announced on Monday a new multiyear partnership where FedEx will deliver select large packages to Amazon customers' residences.

- The agreement marks a renewed alliance after FedEx cut ties with Amazon in 2019 and suggests ongoing adjustments in the logistics industry around large-package deliveries.
