Amazon is getting too big. They had too many years of no sales tax, which helped put some retailers under.

3 done 3 to go
In control of own destiny
But, the fine line is we are now dependent on Amazon too
They will squeeze everyone out, then they can jack up the prices on everything.

And, they will
Just like Walmart did back in the day.
Dona cares. She told me.

To a degree, yes, but certainly not completely dependent.

Imagine there wasn't Amazon in your truck. How many deliveries? Less than half of our trucks are not Amazon

We would still be in existence; however, there would be far fewer of us on road.

They already have depending on what it is.... they have suckered people into thinking they are getting a deal on some stuff... they’re not.. and their site is starting to get flooded with fake reviews and lots of off name Chinese goods ( flashlights, clothes, suitcases, toys, backpacks, you name it....)
I've been getting more and more call tags for Amazon than ever before.

The get sooo many returns... this has to be expensive to process all of them on a daily basis..
I don't even have an Amazon account.
I've noticed they all of the recent call tags have been RS1 instead of RS3

I'm into distribution!!
It depends on where Amazon's volume would go. With everyone running at capacity for a good part of the year, if a large shipper were to leave one shipper chances are the shipper who picked up the new volume would have to cut loose other, less desirable volume.
At some point I imagine shippers will turn down peak season volume if that customer doesn't ship most of their volume throughout the year. I believe this already happens to an extent.

What really has hurt their image is having random dudes selling stuff they import from china to try to mAke a small profit on ...and if something goes wrong the consumer blames amazon naturally....
