Amazon and USPS Finalize New Delivery Deal with 20% Volume Reduction
Key Facts
Amazon.com Inc and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) have reached a new agreement regarding their long-standing package delivery partnership. Under the terms of the deal, Amazon will reduce the volume of packages it ships through the USPS by 20%. Notably, this reduction is smaller than the cuts previously discussed during negotiations between the two entities. The agreement comes as Amazon continues to expand its internal logistics network to gain more control over its global supply chain. For the USPS, the deal helps stabilize its revenue base despite the decrease in shipment volume from its largest customer. This development provides much-needed clarity on Amazon's future logistics costs and its strategic shift toward operational self-reliance.
