Amazon logistics takes next step
In its April 2016 report, eCommerce delivery firm ParcelHero predicted Amazon would become a logistics company. Now Amazon has launched end-to-end delivery service Shipping with Amazon.
ParcelHero’s head of consumer research, David Jinks MILT says: “Together with its fast-growing cloud network, huge warehouse expansion programme, and increase in services such as TV and even healthcare, Amazon is barrelling towards becoming the world’s first $1 trillion company – just as predicted in our 2016 report Amazon’s Prime Ambition.”
The impact of Amazon Logistics deliveries in the UK has already revolutionised the parcel industry here. By August last year Amazon had already grabbed a 7% share of the UK delivery market; to put that into perspective Yodel had 8% with Hermes 11%.
