Amazon is expanding its shipping operations through the introduction of Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), which will provide freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping to a variety of businesses, including notable brands such as Procter & Gamble and 3M. This initiative positions Amazon to compete directly with established logistics companies like DHL, UPS, and FedEx. By leveraging its extensive fulfillment network, Amazon aims to attract companies willing to pay for these shipping services, similar to its approach with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
