Amazon plans to handle more than 86% of its package deliveries through its own logistics network next year, marking a significant shift away from traditional carrier partnerships. The e-commerce giant's internal projections suggest continued expansion of its proprietary delivery infrastructure, though company officials noted the forecasts remain preliminary and subject to change. The move reflects Amazon's broader strategy to reduce dependence on third-party carriers including USPS and UPS. Industry observers say such self-delivery capabilities could reshape parcel logistics dynamics as Amazon scales its sortation facilities and last-mile operations. Competitors are watching the strategy closely as Amazon continues investing in air and ground transportation assets.
