Amazon ($AMZN) Expands Fast Delivery to Rural Areas, Challenging USPS - WSJ
Jul 30, 2024, 09:42 AM
Amazon ($AMZN) is expanding its one- and two-day delivery capabilities into rural areas across the U.S., challenging the U.S. Postal Service's dominance in these regions, according to WSJ. This expansion involves opening smaller, optimized delivery centers closer to rural locations. After years of fine-tuning its U.S. delivery systems in denser cities, Amazon aims to boost sales in less-populated regions and expand into the last frontier of ultrafast delivery. This move is seen as a significant step in bridging America’s urban-rural economic divide.
