Amazon Expands One- and Two-Day Delivery to Rural U.S., Challenging USPS: WSJ
Jul 30, 2024, 09:42 AM
Amazon is reportedly 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. 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 is now focusing on improving delivery services in less populated areas. This move may result in fewer deliveries' share for USPS, according to WSJ.
