[QUOTE="newgirl, post: 3039052, member: 30504"] In the sense that amazon cannot control their shipping costs directly we are their competition. Shipping costs are bezos biggest "problem". He wants cheaper. The outfit you interviewed for is probably a short term answer to his need. Amazon has more failures than we realize but they are just platforms for better ideas. Amazon has irons in every fire to see what works best and cheapest and they can control. I pull up to houses and there are pkgs outside the door from amazon from every carrier. I see uber drivers open their trunks and there is a pile of prime boxes in there. One gal walks past me scans a box with her phone drops it outside an apartment door. Her next stop was someone going to the airport. Yesterday amazon driver is at same house I am at with 2 tiny boxes. I have those stupid adjustable dumbells that weigh more than amazon is paying for. He jumps out drops and runs. I have to break out the old hand truck and take extra time lugging it over and find a spot out of the rain. Not all of my amazon boxes are tiny and light. They are bulky crappie things that I trip over all day. Tables, dog food, fishing poles, karaoke machines etc. The ground guy probably gets even crappier stuff. On Monday I have none, on Friday my cargo area has 100 smirks. They know what they are doing, the logistics of how they do it are definitely beyond my pay grade. Shipping is their last spoke in the wheel. So, again, just my opinion. Bottom line, buy amazon, they are predicting 2000.00 a share in the near future [/QUOTE]
