I think FedEx and UPS can still beat Amazon by becoming a Fulfillment Center Giant where they become a medium to bypass all hefty fees Amazon charges people for displaying their products on Amazon and just fulfills orders for people. Why I say this is because FedEx and UPS are practically in every country in the world and this is an advantage Amazon doesn't have. They could technically do this in a few different ways. The best I think would be an app and web tool for Shopify and other ecom stores. People click on their integrated tool on Shopify stores and it directly goes to a delivery guy for picking up the order and getting it to the FedEx UPS nearest chain. Then FedEx UPS does the rest if its overseas delivery or if its not then the delivery guy simply delivers it locally or drops it off to the nearest center for Inter City deliveries. This could be huge in developing countries.
Could be; but the point is people would probably pay a premium to display their products on Amazon. I know a few business owners in the US who pay a crazy margin just to get some of that “Amazon Traffic.”
But I get your point; it could also be an approach, they just have to do something radical at this stage.
