Amazon.com have released a statement saying that FedEx's delivery service is going downhill and that they will no longer be using the ground delivery network for all of their Prime shipments. Amazon have sent a message to everyone who sells through the site on December 15th and they have instructed them about the change. Amazon have also sent notifications through any merchants who were reviewed by Bloomberg.
Of course, it's important to understand that more than half of the products that are sold through Amazon actually come from third-party members. They then pay Amazon commission for every single sale. A lot of the merchants who also pay Amazon logistical services as well and this is putting the very company in competition with others such as FedEx. Sellers can easily oversee any deliveries on their own and a lot of them use the FedEx ground service which means that they are able to meet the two-day service that is promised by Amazon. Sellers can still use FedEx's express services if they want any ground deliveries, but this is a very costly option.
Amazon evaluate any delivery services every year to see how well they are doing and if you work in the industry of driver recruitment Ireland or as part of a major driving agency Ireland then you will know how important it is to keep drivers on track. Amazon have already created tons of driving jobs Ireland as well and this is just a testament to how well they are doing and how far they have come over the recent years.
There really are so many services out there that can offer deliveries but FedEx really are not living up to expectations and it looks like more needs to be done to try and develop their own delivery network.
