UPS said it was going to cut Amazon business by 50% because it wasn't profitable


I had to return some parts to Amazon and had to visit a UPS store. The place was packed of people returning stuff to Amazon. Guess all those returns of crap don’t yield much in profits.

I wonder if Amazon will one day either buy up UPS or FedEx for logistics or pull what they did for cloud services with AWS and start accepting 3rd party packages and letters for express delivery using their network.

I think it’s just the opposite. This is Amazon’s passive aggressive attempt to convince people to stop returning items.

Instead of dropping off an item to the crowded UPS at the end of the street, everyone will get funneled to the Whole Foods at the other end of town.

Then time to start expanding, I am still waiting on Amazon Delivery and a Whole (Paycheck) Foods in the Houma-Thibodaux area. I think Amazon does large parcel delivery in the Bayou area, but regular size is still with the dreaded postal service.
