Amazon has partnered with FedEx to fill delivery gaps left by UPS, which announced reducing deliveries for Amazon earlier this year.
Amazon and FedEx had cut ties in 2019 due to rising competition but are now renewing their partnership to improve package deliveries.
The new partnership with FedEx gives Amazon cost favorability compared to UPS, potentially resulting in cost savings for Amazon.
While Amazon regularly works with third-party delivery partners, the FedEx deal does not aim to replace UPS entirely, aiming to balance capacity to serve customers better.
