USPS Capacity Limitations Restrain Amazon To Move Away from UPS, FedEx: Bernstein - Bidness Etc

According to a recent research report from Bernstein, the investment firm believes Amazon.com, Inc. efforts to reduce dependence upon both UPS and FedEx by moving its reliance to USPS may not be a viable idea. For USPS to support the online retail giant’s growing demand, it would have to invest heavily in its networks and fleets or raise its price, which it can’t afford.
