FedEx is pulling the plug on Amazon deliveries, effectively ending domestic ties with the largest U.S. retailer, the company said on Wednesday.
"This change is consistent with our strategy to focus on the broader e-commerce market, which the recent announcements related to our FedEx Ground network have us positioned extraordinarily well to do," FedEx officials said in a statement. FedEx signalled the sea change in June, when it announced it would not renew its deal to fly Amazon’s deliveries through its Express unit in the United States.
Amazon has been focused on building out its own infrastructure by contracting its own planes, trucks and other traditional means of transportation.
