- Amazon is on a spending spree to grow its fleet of planes, vans, semitrucks and drivers in its latest move to compete with FedEx and UPS. Now, it’s using the added capacity to move cargo for outside customers, betting big on the business of third-party shipping while also shipping 72% of its own packages. CNBC talks to former Amazon executives and current customers using the shipping services to find out all about the behemoth’s next big move.

Amazon now ships for other merchants to compete with FedEx, UPS
I can only imagine when they start doing their own aircraft maintenance. Technicians will only be allotted 10 minutes per plane.
lots of engines falling off!!!
Just like there software engineers every aspect and jobs of there business will turn into sweat shops in the modern day America.
Very likely.
@@OneLimitlessHuman they are very generous at 10 minutes!!
With no toilet breaks between planes 🤣
As a UPS driver, the amount of Amazon packages we deliver is INSANE
Well you should be applying to Amazon cause sooner or later Prime will be the main delivery service and you won’t be delivering any Amazon packages working for ups
@@artenman no thanks we ups drivers make $39+ per hr. We’re ready for them to take all their volume back.
@@jwhite0074 if your main packages from Amazon aren’t going to be sent by you eventually, ‘then why are we paying you this much for?’
@@artenman Yeah UPS will always have its market. I am a driver as well, I make incredible money, get incredible benefits, 3 weeks of paid vacation with 2 weeks of option days to use at my discretion, and oh yeah a pension. Amazon is a hack company that pays its drivers ass money with none of the above benefits and no pension.
Because UPS drivers are professionals. We get proper training, excellent benefits, great pay, vacation, pension, and full union protection. It's what a company should actually do for it's employees. I can't wait for amazon to take their volume back. It won't make a difference for UPS, we have been around for decades before Amazon.
lol I love that they filmed the guy throwing packages into the trailer.
Those are empty Boxes.
@@marshinz5696 I work for a DSP, throwing packages into the trucks is sometimes the only way to get them all loaded in the little time allotted. Heavy packages squashing boxes below them is also quit common. As well as package avalanches when I try to come to a slow stop with a quickly loaded van. Totes stacked 3 high squashing the bottom ones and falling over. I've also had boxes not taped shut, envelopes not closed and things falling out of them. Quick seems to be more important than right. In all fairness though, most seem to make it through undamaged.
@@FortunaZKat Packaging evolved to handle the brutality. Though cardboard shopping box outside, medium cardboard product box inside, shock absorbing cardboard with the shape of the product inside the box.
@@marshinz5696 Ya sure... you would be surprised if u ever worked in shipping...
@@Bvic3 Sure, nothing gets broken, for sure...U think???
Shipping is a job and ppl try to load as fast as possible, its not a perfect thing, but most things arrive in good shape...
Amazon: We fill our trucks to 100% capacity!
Everyone: It's actually 5%, because you ship Chap Stick in a mattress sized box.
That doesn't make sense. I'm not trying to defend Amazon, but they have computers that tell their packers exactly the best box to use to ship an item. They wouldn't be nearly as profitable if they had trucks full of huge boxes only carrying a single chap stick tube.
@@olgaflores522 that’s what I’m saying though, but I doubt they are using some huge box for something like chap stick. They have programs telling them the best box to pack something with.
@@haarisnazif I order from Amazon probably 3 or 4 times a week
@@haarisnazif I live in Maryland, I would say 99% of the items come in a proper sized box. Usually if it’s small enough it just comes in like a plastic envelope thing.
LOL! We have received MANY Amazon shipments in ridiculously-oversized boxes. One time, we received a 36" x 10' rolled-up rubber mat that was in a box that was maybe 4" x 4" x 37"... and that box arrived within a GIGANTIC 24" x 24" x 48" outer box! There was no padding or anything in that huge box... just the tiny rubber mat box taking up maybe 5% of the space in the big box! It was absolutely ridiculous, and I posted a photo of it to my FB page.
I have noticed that Amazon used to have the lowest prices... but now that they have established a sizable portion of the market share, prices are going up comparatively.
That's called a monopoly. Make things cheap enough so that other companies get crushed and then slowly raise the prices.
Welcome to ECON 101, my friend.
Try Walmart. Amazon is for young people with money to burn.
But Amazon customer service is way better than Walmart or any other online store. Also you need to return your items in the store or by mail while amazon has multiple other options.
Still, if you calculate their free shipping vs paid shipping (for most competitors), is that still so?
I like how amazon relies on UPS for its returns though lol
they dont care how fast it comes back, why waste space on a plane for "non-urgent" shipments.
@Chris B yeah exactly..... that’s what the person was pretty much saying.
They rely on UPS for most of their deliveries too
Amazon UPS customer returns.
@@thefiestaguy8831 does amazon offer rewards to amazon sellers who sell/buy a certain number of products and does amazon offer rewards to amazon buyers non sellers who buy a certain number of products?
I worked for Amazon Logistics and transportation and now I'm a Teamster. The truck drivers Amazon is using for their semi trailers are very often immigrants who are willing to work for next to nothing. The truckers were totally left out of this video and they are an extremely important part to go from Planes to the little vans that Amazon uses. The pilots were able to organize and negotiate better pay and benefits. If the truck drivers and the Hub workers and the van drivers do not organize they are going to be left out in the freezing cold.
@@chairmanofthebored8684 Well welcome to the world
Honestly whats stopping us from automating you out of existence is legislators i mean i want everyone to think of a tesla right now or how many trucker jobs have been automated out of existence so far on closed automated truck routes that have been running for years where they may throw automated cars to try and mess them up or actual people driving to prove the point we are already there the only thing stopping us from getting from making a little rv or drone that automatically delivers amazon packages out of a selfdriving car is nothing straight to your door

It blows me away that Microsoft was slapped with an anti-trust monopoly suit, but not Amazon?
Microsoft was an actual monopoly with how they did windows and internet explorer. Amazon isnt a monopoly, they havent done any illegal stuff to gain market share.
America 10000+% ahead of ups in 2021 how old is amazon think about that seriously in America alone every thing about amazon is public America is just as much apart of amazon at this point as jeff bezos sorry you cant realize that maybe should of told ups to try harder
This is because you can't be bothered to look up what the words trust or monopoly mean. They don't mean what you assume they do.

@@Chicago48 yeah they are way better then amazon who rip off their employees
Guy that doesn’t understand the meaning of the word monopoly tries to sound smart by using the term “monopoly”. A company trying to perform more parts of the value chain internally is called vertical integration. A monopoly is when one company has a disproportionately large share of a single market/service/goods. E-commerce and postal services are two different markets.

With the AWS cash cow, Amazon can do what other retailers may struggle to do
@ Pyrrhic ... Exactly. They have tons of cash now to out muscle any other retailer & even logistics companies ! In 10 years time, I won't be surprised to see Amazon as the world's largest company in terms of all key financial metrics : i.e. Market Cap, Revenue and even net income.
Reminder that most Reddit bots run on rented Amazon servers. There's nothing Amazon will say no to if it involves money. I can show the IPs if anyone is interested. Stupid bots will click a logger 100% of the time in a news subreddit.
Amazon will be here when all else fails.good management is the secreat to sucess.Being still and listning is a big part of being a good mgr.Took years to build amazon,took years to build caterpillar, but its working.There is many more that can be built,but just have to know where to start.
I often imagine the future as amazon the online store, walmart for local shopping, and Disney for all entertainment.
Oh wait...no I didnt...
Thats the "elites" dream.
But alas most common plebs dont know and dont care. Its going to happen regardless of how us "thoughtful" people complain on RUclips.
I saw retailers paying $20 for a item and selling the same item for $80 long enough.Im sorry they chose to tripple or nothing buiness,but now they will have nothing.A lot of things became leaverrites in the last 5 years,I leave er right there with the retailers and call Amazon. Same item,1/3 the price and they ship it right to the door,I save time,gas,money,Exactly what the retailers were doing befor only im my own retailer now.I keep the markup myself instead of giving it to a retailer.Oh,support your local businesses? We tryed,but they got so dam greedy and high on prices we had to stop using them.A lot more ( retailers) will go out also.Wall mart cant compeat with Amazon because they to slow and they got poor managment.That happens when you hire kin instead of mgrs.Big changes are happning,people are waking up and cutting costs ,and its history books for retail...
Small business owners should be deeply concerned for the future. First, Amazon offers you convenient delivery services between you and your customers. Then, they will start offering products similar to and cheaper than the products you offer, eventually forcing you out of the market in general. Now, with the recent supply chain problems in the USA (e.g. the traffic jam of cargo ships outside of Long Beach and Los Angeles harbors, for example), large retailers like Walmart and Amazon are slowly edging out the small business competition by being rich enough to pay for their own private transportation (cargo ships, trucks, etc.) to exclusively transport their own products wherever and whenever they want without having to "wait" for anybody and/or anything. Can your average small town "mom and pop" business afford that? I don't think so. Expect to see the death of many, if not most, small businesses in America within this decade.
@Troy Hendrickson Amazon doesn’t pay much better though
AMZ needs to be broken up, like Google did with Alphabet. AMZ is really 4 companies in one. Break it up!
Yup. And then they’ll lock it down and charge more than the small business ever did. -10years-
They will have their own ports too soon!
time for them to get better or Jack a higher price and hope that keeps customers. is the consumer really better off with a mom/pop shop in todays world?
Walmart is faster. When I order something online, they would check to see if my local store has it and if it does, they would have a door dash driver drop it off. I usually get it the same day too.
Wow. I did know that. I know Walmart is pretty fast delivering packages without membership
Now that fast okay I will start using them now. I feel the more I contribute ro their business I feel for the worker as the way they are treated thanks fpr letting me know.
"they would check to see if my local store has it and if it does" amazon doesn't have to do that, it has a huge inventory.
@@toxicityuser but Wal-mart is cheaper too on some of their products. Sometimes $10 cheaper.
@Zakir Siddiqui walmart recently raise their minimum wage.
Amazon should focus on its main business….and DO SOMETHING about the crappy products being sold by third parties on THEIR website.
I’m a prime member…but I’m buying less because I’m losing trust the quality of Amazon products.
It is extremely difficult to find any legitimate big name products on their site. Trying to find anything Microsoft or Apple on there is quite a gamble.
Im done when my prime is up, can find it locally for cheaper or the same price now
Now that Amazon doesn’t use FedEx or UPS for prime shipping, my delivery times are over week. It’s actually faster for me to order things via Ebay. There’s large portions of the country like this due to lack of hubs except in large cities.
Thats crazy i get my stuff in 3 days or less where do u live
@@juanzarate6165 Northern Michigan. Could be wrong but I don’t think there’s an Amazon hub north of Grand Rapids. My mom who lives 30 minutes south of me can get prime delivery, my aunt who lives 2 miles north of her cannot.
do you check who delivers your packages? look at the label it tells you what company delivered it. also if you track your packages you will know who’s delivering it. UPS, USPS, AMZL are the ones that deliver my packages. the fastest is AMZL then UPS and the slowest is USPS. i notice they scan or mark the package as delivered on the expected day but physically deliver the package 3 days later. AMZL and UPS been doing great so far.
And Amazon will have truck factory, oil refinery, tyre factory. Imagine the low salaries

I was in the transportation business for years and when I first heard about the ADP program I was interested. When I looked more into it & spoke w/ Amazon about it -- no way. It may look good on its face but when you run the #s than no way, the margins are very thin, if anything goes wrong your not making any $$ or even worse operating at a loss. I've been in transport business for years, as a company driver, independent contractor, company owner w/
USDOT/FMCSA authority etc. I've seen it all and this Amazon deal sucks. To them you are a contractor - but they force you to make your drivers employees, not IC. That's just the 1st thing I don't like about it & theres many more
Perhaps you'll learn to spell and tell us all about it, some day.
Amazon can’t compare themselves to UPS or FedEx. I used to be a Fedex driver and I never saw them carry bed frames or heavy boxes.
I used to work for a DSP. We absolutely deliver heavy items. On some routes, packages go up to 75 pounds. Anything heavier than that goes to the Oversized side of AMZL where it's delivered by an Amazon sidestep truck, similar to the one that you used to drive. There are also Prime commercial trucks with liftgates in many markets delivering large items like TVs, appliances, furniture and large machinery like A/C heat pumps etc so Amazon absolutely delivers the same items as UPS and FedEx
UPS absolutely delivers huge, heavy boxes. On their applications they still say the requirement is to be able to lift 70 pounds, but they changed the weight limit to 140 or 150 a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure I dealt with packages that were even heavier than that.
FOR THE DELIVERY IS EXCELLENCE COMPANY FED-EX .(LOSS TIME AND CORTESI 🤗👍👌🤝

Amazon will eventually be broken down for being a monopoly.
It will be broken first by the overexploitation of the workers, of course as long as the workers organize or if the government intervenes.
All big tech is about monopoly.
Thats why Jeff stepped down. He's made his money.
Yeah right lmao
Breaking down monopolies like Google or Amazon would suggest that government have power over corporations, instead of corporations having power over the government by buying politicians to do lobbying for them together with being too big to fail, so with power to blackmail public money in order to save them from any bankruptcy just because of the massive amount of jobs they provide...
With corporate propaganda of trying to make the government even less capable to do anything for the sake of "freedom from a powerful tyrannical government" which still many conservative people buying, you can predict how any attempt to make government do what it is supposed to do like protecting worker, consumer, and environmental rights in the US would actually work in real life...
All that said, Amazon at least risen wages for its warehouse staff unlike many other businesses to livable levels even before recent temporary wage rises due to lack of workforce willing to work during a pandemic for food stamp wages.
As a former UPS employee, I've loaded Amazon packages. Amazon tape doesn't stick very well. They need to use Gorilla tape.
Its not just the quality of the tape, its a poor taping job....all seams of the box need to be taped, not just the middle seam.
Were you fired?
they are water based tape just lick the tape and put it back on 😂
I’m a FedEx Ground delivery driver, and I can say that we rarely deliver Amazon packages. We’ll get them here and there but not as we used to. On the other hand USPS is definitely getting overwhelmed with Amazon deliveries. I talk to the USPS drivers on my route and when I see their deliveries half of their trucks are full of Amazon.
FedEx doesn’t do anything with amazon, your delivering a package that someone used a amazon box for.
Amazon is the savior of the USPS

Too many people ordering. Drivers are already working a full route but people keep ordering junk daily.
As a FedEx material handler, the amount of Amazon packages we deliver is zero.
Amazon needs to worry about shipping our prime orders faster. I’ve seen my prime orders go from 1-2 days all the way up to 7-10 days. I order more from Walmart now than I do from Amazon.
Yeah the 1day shipping isn’t really 1 day. The 1 day starts when they’ve shipped your package, not counting the processing time to pack your order.
I miss the two day shipping days when you really receive your order within 2 days.
I live in rural California over 2 hours to the closest WalMart. Amazon has been an overwhelming disappointment in our area the last year or so. Average Prime delivery times are about 7 days. My Prime membership just expired and I did not renew because of this. They blame UPS, but I get Walmart, HomeDepot, etc packages in 2 days so Amazon is just lying and dropping the ball.
Vote with your wallet. It's an effective way to get Amazon to react.
FedEx pilots are some of the best paid pilots in aviation. Amazon on the other hand uses contractors to maintain and fly there planes . The race to the bottom continues
Delivery carriers could handle Amazon's volume. Amazon wanted a slice of the shipping profits...that's why FedEx broke it off....
yep i'm pretty sure fedex asked for more money since their margins for each package they deliver for amz was slim to none.
UPS is a slave to Amazon
fedex is on the verge of going bankrupt.
@@stafonvoncamron do you have proof of that or is it just a generalization?
That 25% of Amazon packages being delivered by UPS and USPS is probably calculated using global numbers. Because the USPS still delivers a lot of Amazon's stuff for them. And once Amazon hits their capacity during holiday shopping, they will just dump all the excess onto USPS to deliver for them.
Yeah, i've hear that those numbers are misleading... rather the opposite is true, MOST of the packages are UPS, FedEx and USPS.
Amazon launched this so they don't have to pay UPS, FedEx and USPS for shipping.
"USPS still **mis** delivers a lot of Amazon's stuff for them".
They get lost in rural areas so we're not impressed, too many lost packages / nightmare refunds for my taste. Luckily I can shop elsewhere for my needs & it benefits rather than harms our community.
They found my house this week where no other service could the first few tries. Impressed.
You must be a real jerk or fraudster if you have an issue with Amazon refunds...
Amazon takes around 3 weeks to deliver my package from the US to England, whilst FedEx takes 3 days
We are utterly deranged as a country. Amazon is going to level every single business in the country. Yes, lets wait until macys and every other retailer is gone, and now we will lose Fedx and UPS. BRILLIANT. Way to go America.
You definitely have no idea of how Shipping and Logistics works. These are parcel service FedEx UPS will never cease to exist because everything else that you can assume where are used is shipped to you somehow. Even if it’s inside the United States that it’s manufactured maybe you need to still move it state to state and these are pallets and these are bulky shipments and we do truckloads of freight that are on skids. What you’re saying is only partial small packages. Even Boeing has their aircraft parts shipped out of like for example… FedEx UPS DHL and everybody else that does shipping will not disappear there is enough freight for everyone to have a piece of cake. This does jeopardize the pricing does FedEx and UPS use to charge their customers double that one Amazon is doing. This is actually a good thing. More options more capacity faster shipping and lower rates. I’m a logistic sales rep by the way, just sharing
Don’t worry, when these companies have sucked the life out of the middle class they will just move to china. Nobody is going out of business.
Most of ups's packages are Amazon boxes which I found pretty weird
to a degree. I drive for them and I would say close to a third of my residential ground is amazon. Even if amazon pulls the majority of their own shipments onto their own services it won't hurt UPS, as the majority of our money comes from handling businesses and doing our air. Our commit times are for businesses and air which is how UPS makes the majority of their money. Residential ground is the least of their worries.
I closed my Amazon account and I don’t shop there anymore. All these giant companies are decimating local businesses all over the world and has become too big and too powerful. I now buy from small companies and family businesses.
You have any list of companies that people can use or websites?
I wonder if this is why I all of a sudden keep getting packages for my address but in the next town over. How does that even happen? It’s happened twice in the last 2 weeks. I just bring them to the post office and tell them to deal with it
Amazon's two main advantages: Diversification and Conglomeration. They are in control from manufacturing to final mile on a few products. That is complete monopoly.
@@jayrober4834 Tell me what nations aren't relying on China re manufacturing? And those nations who don't are going to expense it more to the consumer - i.e. 3 tier New Balance Shoes pricing: Made in Vietnam between $100 to $170, while US Made starts from $190 to $230 and UK at least starts from $270 and up. Obviously quality gap is evident between the three. Mind you if these are collaboration shoes, you add at least 50 -70 to its pricing. That is the reason why you *sarcastically * be thankful to Richard Nixon paving the way start a free market with PROC. 😭
Exploitation of labor ranks higher up than both of those. On average they're profiting $5 or more per package delivered. Most drivers deliver 220+ packages per day while making around $17 an hour. Do the math. There's almost 300k drivers employed through contracted companies delivering cheap plastic junk that gets to you the next day because people sell their bodies and time to a highly advantageous company that uses those contracted companies to sidestep labor laws and collective bargaining. It's truly an evil operation. They aren't some masterful logistics company either. The routes are horribly modeled and their GPS app is worse than the earliest Garmin and TomToms and they rely entirely on churning and burning people with incredibly high turnover rates.
As of August 2023 Amazon does not own any of its prime planes and most of the trucks are rented and painted with Amazon logos.
Most of the Amazon workers in their warehouses are either teens or old people or migrant workers who don't really care about cheap payment.
Amazon is good at exploiting the needs of low economic communities.
I am a Delivery Driver with UPS and not a day goes by that I am not delivering an Amazon package. At this point in time, they rely heavily on UPS for deliveries. That could very well change in time, though.
could depend on the area your in. the area i’m in the UPS drivers are getting fewer packages from amazon and don’t do locker pick up for amazon anymore. i’m sure they still rely on UPS and USPS for areas that are further from amazon warehouse since you guys already have logistics set up for those areas. maybe the volume for those areas are high so to avoid overworking drivers and risking having late deliveries they spread the load.
Specifically, this makes sense for Amazon since their planes would basically return to base empty from remote locations like Hawaii....use that excess capacity to ship USPS mail to the mainland.
UPS still deliverers a significant amount of their packages. Especially when it comes to overweight commodities.
its keeping ups in business.
@@stafonvoncamron I like your hat.
😂 my buddy in UPS hates me when i send a picture of my package label with the weight as 10 lbs and complain that this should’ve been sent thru UPS. then he’ll send me a picture with labels weighing 50lbs each. amazon drivers only deal with less than 50 lbs and anything over that weight goes to UPS or the amazon XL which has 2 drivers in a truck to do team lifts.
How ironic I was thinking of this two days ago! USPS plans to slow down it's mail processing service and I only imagine that Amazon will jump into the mail delivery industry in the near future. Love them or hate them, they always seem ahead of the curve!
When you've got more money than god because you don't pay your workers or taxes it's not that hard to be "ahead of the curve".
There are certain areas in the US that logistic companies, including Amazon, avoid because it's not profitable. That's where USPS steps in. Even Amazon uses USPS to deliver products in rural areas.
They underpay people and leave those who refuse to comply jobless. They campaign to drive down wages in low income areas. They employ the most dangerous fleet in trucking. Amazon is an invasive species in business form.
So does UPS, DHL and FedEx. They have a agency division that operates moving non-house containers and pallets of freight (usually from freight forwarders and large shippers).
Another guy throwing your packages like a frisbee. He can't even pretend like he cares when someone is recording
12:30
Why the heck would he? He gets crap pay, no benefits, works 8 days a week and deals with horrible working conditions. I wouldn't give a damn either.
@@88cryingwolf so why he can't find another job or he force to work there, if your job not paying you good move on. It not the customer fault
@@kromahj Doesn’t matter who does the job. Packages will absolutely be thrown. People complain about packages being “roughly” placed at doors when it’s nothing compared to what they go through in the warehouse. If you dont want your package thrown don’t buy online because every delivery service does it.
@@kromahj aye , i cant have sympathy for people who enable these cancerous organizations to overtake the world and at the same time whine about their work conditions...
I hate to break it to you, but packages are handled WAY worse in sorting facilities. Packages are designed to be handled that way, thats why they are in a cardboard box with air/foam. If a small package cant handle a 3-5ft drop multiple times minimum , its packaged poorly.
I wish they would take on the crappy sellers on their site. 😢
Yes, thank you for saying that. I ordered my niece a $75 gift and seller kept saying it was on the way but it never came and tracking# was fake. I took it for a bit but once it passed the delivery date seller stopped responding, even after I asked for a refund. I got with Amazon but since they got no response too they sd nothing they could do. I blew a fuse. I chewed out Amazon then the seller and left a bad review for seller. And for me getting ripped off from one of their sellers Amazon didn't remove the seller but banned me for life from responding to and reviewing any seller. That was the only time I've ever had a problem with a Amason seller. They def need to check their sellers out better and not the customers that keep them in business. It left a nasty taste in my mouth for Amazon and Mr Bezos.
@@spalmer8398 Amazon has no quality control. To me the site has really gone down over the years. A lot of fake merchandise and people selling Aliexpress goods at inflated prices. I never buy books there (better prices on Bookoutlet) and buy all house stuff on Wayfair, which has great customer service. Screw Amazon.
50% of Auto parts / accessories son Amazon isn't OEM but Chinese knock offs. Auto OEM stuff I still buy in person at mechanics shops.
I just bought a bunch of crap 😬
@@nagasako7 I went through three rebuilt starters from one of the big auto parts stores and all were bad. Then I bought a new knockoff for 2/3 the price of a rebuilt. The debris shield doesn't fit and it makes a funny ra-ra-ra-room sound when I start the car, but three years later it's still working.
As a UPS preloader, we load 50% or more of amazon packages. They cut their delivery to maximize profits. Lazy
Spoken like a true peasant.. lol What you call "lazy" a business man calls saving money to increase profits and build his business. Keep thinking like that and you'll be loading trucks for the rest of your life.
Haven’t used amazon in 2 years 😎
Gonna keep it this way.
Well done bro
You've probably used amazon AWS without knowing it however 🤣
You’ve unknowingly most definitely have
I’d be happy if they could ship orders from other sites to their amazon lockers. Mail gets stolen all the time on my block so lately I’ve only been able to order things from amazon using their amazon lockers.
I think that this is Amazon's best idea. With so many "porch thefts" of packages nowadays, it's a great plan to be able to pick them up from physical locations - the more, the better.
Or... You and others in your community can start an LLC to set up your own lockers. I know of one apartment complex that that uses a company called Luxor for lockers.
where yall living? Detroit? never in 20 years of buying online have I ever got something stolen off my porch
@@Daniel-gs9eh people who live in big apartments
My packages got stolen all the time, and what has really helped me is getting a box at my local UPS store. So far so good. $99 per year, but they really don't charge me for any boxes delivered unless they are huge, and even then, only like $3.
They've been shipping their competitors warehouse to warehouse freight since the holiday season of 2019. I was shocked the first time I picked up a competitors load.
Wow!
thats just trucking
This seems like one of those advertisements masquerading as news.
The timing on this is amazing... I just ordered from a non-Amazon website.. but in reality the item is coming from Amazon
I find peace myself walking to a brick and mortar store to buy stuff. Doing so, it's immediate spot delivery, my money is not vested for 2-3 days, I will have some physical exercise in walking, I get to see around, I get to socialize with shopkeepers....and shopkeeper will not "track" my pattern or behaviour for luring me to buy more.
Buying at a shop gives me peace in the end.
I assume you're strictly using cash only. If you've used your credit, debit, or any store"club" cards, you're being tracked. But your expression is appreciated.
ok boomer
2-3 days? Amazon has been offering same day deliveries for years. Pretty much anything in the local warehouse (which is a ton of stuff, more than a typical brick and mortar store) can be delivered within like 6 hours.
that sounds exhausting. take my money jeff bezos plz
I could have bought a vinyl album on Amazon and boom it would be here but I am supporting my local record store--no algorithms just two very knowledgeable guys who know a lot about music and provide solid recommendations.
It's like Wall-e's Buy n Large. 1 company controls everything.
FedEx and UPS can use a bit of friendly competition.
Their services are overpriced.
look at how amazing amazon is when a new business doesn't pay their employees enough, overworks them, abuses them. that's a lot of money saved...
And the CEO even thanked his employees for the money to go to space, he has no shame
Furry
It’s capitalism and there’s no problem with that.
You left out doesn't pay taxes, either
Nobody is being forced to work for Amazon. If they don’t want to work for Amazon anymore, they can quit and work for someone else
Amazon mostly deliver their products one day later in my county, MD. UPS is always best. You get what you pay for.
Growth at any cost… I wonder who will be able to afford buying at Amazon once they have cut out all competition and automated most jobs...
Ups and fedex revenue has been growing without Amazon. If you a real online shopper you will know Amazon not the only one with the deals anymore
@@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi2070 Online shopping was never the primary model of Amazon. They even self claim low-profit margin which means they deflate prices to compete with other retailers while they have to pay third-party expenses for people selling on Amazon. How did they gain so much income after all? The simple answer is they avoid paying tax at all costs. A low-profit margin means you don't earn so much after paying for all expenses compared to the revenue you earn. On top of that, there is even taxation to seal the deal. But Amazon can avoid paying much tax because they operate so much in R&D and infrastructure. They spend so much on R&D to upgrade their technology while using cloud computing to collect customer data to sell it to third parties and such. It used to be the source of income for banksters but now Amazon can capture customer experience and shopping data. Different from other retail, they store customer data so instead of spending money to buy from banks, they save some bucks for buying and use the data to sell to third parties for more income. They also earn infrastructure tax credit on their cloud computing information storage. Low-margin deflated price but their prime business is tax credit and data selling. Interesting huh?
Thats a dumb statement. Do you think a company just wants to grow big and then not make any sales?
Shareholders like me lol.
@@dannydaw59 true statement.
Amazon is ridiculous with food prices. I use independent website because I dont like how Amazon treat their workers like crap.
i literally cannot WAIT for when they trust bust amazon. imagine being the regulator that gets to decide how to cleave them up
Like thatll ever happen. They grease too many palms.
@@thebigcnel you’re right .. I still get hope from imagining it tho😭
Why would they get broken up? In the meantime, my AMZN stocks keeps going up up up up up. How about you?
@@RandomUser20130101 their stocks go up because they get better at exploiting their workers, our environment, and our governments. They should be broken up because they monopolize multiple industries, which according to capitalists like u isn’t good for the consumer. Imagine anonymously bootlicking for a corporation. They don’t need u, they’re not gonna thank u for doing that
Amazon doesn't have a monopoly in any industry. Even Walmart makes more revenue. Amazon just needs to keep growing. AMZN shareholders like me are really happy for them. As a retail customer, I'm happy they provide services and products that I want to buy.
As a contract driver for Amazon, I haul the Prime trailers out of Southern California to Tucson, Vegas, Sacramento and the bay area and back. Frequently however, I am dispatched to bring back an empty trailer or no trailer at all, which I totally prefer!👍 I still get the same pay whether loaded or empty, which unfortunately, hasn't gone up in 3 years now.👎
Their 2 day shipping is no longer a thing. It takes more than a week to get items here in ND. Other online sites have been consistent with shipping times. And they aren't that low in price compared to other sites. Tired of the off brand knocks offs they offer.
I was just telling my wife this earlier. Everything is higher, we been getting stuff a week later, and literally everything on there is cheap Chinese knockoffs with tons of fake reviews. I don't get the Amazon hype still. It's cheaper to go to Walmart or even order from Walmart.
This is a great business model. They don’t even have to pay the delivery drivers benefits!
Nobody is forcing anybody to work for Amazon
U r seeing that..but Amazon's main intention is to maintain Absolute Monopoly in Online Market place...
# worlds best Web Servers : Owned by Amazon = even their opponents use Amazon's server...so even their opponents generate revenue for Amazon..
# Same thing will happen here too... Amazon will Choke all other shipping companies..If they achieve it, other online market places can never compete with Amazon..
@@AlexpxThreeTen and that is why you package is late so quit bitchen
We get benefits.. The dsps we work for supply benefits.

the former safety manager lady laughed exactly the same way a couple of times I almost thought it's edited to be that way lol
I am a manager at a UPS air facility. Amazon just bought our building and we are relocating next year to the other side of the airport. My boss said he believes Amazon will buy UPS in the next 20 years or less.
I’m assuming the US government and federal trade commission won’t allow anything like that. That would likely create a monopoly.
NEVER GONNA HAPPEN
What's with all of the "...Quietly..." titles with CNBC. Like these guys are all out there sneaking around without telling the world what they are up to and CNBC has uncovered something nefarious ?
I work for USPS, we get on average; 2000 packages to deliver daily by Amazon because they don’t have enough drivers to deliver them. I’ll believe this bull when I see it😂
i rather have UPS or amazon deliver my packages. your compadre that delivers in my neighborhood sucks. everything late and i mean by days. i ordered something had it overnight shipping it showed up after a month.
For a second I thought I was tripping but then at 2:56 I noticed someone did forget to tie down the white wall to the ground.
does amazon offer rewards to amazon sellers who sell/buy a certain number of products and does amazon offer rewards to amazon buyers non sellers who buy a certain number of products?
Amazon deliveries are violating the law when they use private drivers shoving packages into your mailbox. That’s a federal crime.
Where’d you get this information?
I think you are confusing amazon packages delivered to a mail box by a usps worker vers an amazon van putting packages on door steps.
i tell them to put it in my mailbox because it’s my mailbox.
At what point do we consider a business an unlawful monopoly?
You are free to buy from Walmart or eBay
Long as u paying the politicians their share u good
Can’t wait till Amazon gets powerful enough to buy my life
Google and Apple have something to say about that.
They will pay the lowest price possible for sure 😃
Haha the Chinese got your life in a choke hold..Amazon can't compete 😅😆🤣😂😄
Your life already belongs to someone.. the government
It’s your sole he’s after! 👿
I live in a small rural town in NW Oregon and have been a Prime member for several years. Up until a couple of weeks ago my home porch deliveries in cartons larger than my rural roadside USPS mailbox will accommodate are now kept at post office and I must go down and pick it up myself.
This defeats the once favorable situation I had enjoyed being an 83 year senior. And, yes, quite often cartons are much larger than needed. Sometimes ridiculously so.
Well I hope this does improve quality control. I recently had a package delivered from Amazon by UPS, and the package was delivered exploded. I had to do a claim and get my money back. It’s clear that these people are throwing our packages around without care!
You should go apply
ahahahaha they hate their job.
That guy throwing packages like freebies at @12:31 LOL
🟦SERCH ADITYA RATHORE-HE ALSO MAKES ME INFORMATIVE CONTENT LIKE CNBC
Maybe they ARE Frisbees?
that's normal. most people don't realize that when packages are sorted they are literally thrown. it's why you have to label things correctly with fragile, liquid, etc. stickers, and the cost of labeling correctly goes towards the extra handling of that package.
This very well explains why even I very intentionally ordered through a companies website and NOT through Amazon, why my package came in an Amazon box.....yay
YES ! I had this happen to me just recently and was mystified. Now I know. Sheesh....
@@mothersgauri4137 maybe that's another way they're making all that money, selling their Amazon boxes
At least I hope so. When this happened to me, I initially thought that the purchase I made was actually from Amazon, it had just been "camouflaged" somehow. As I avoid buying from Amazon this was disheartening.
Years ago, Bezos actually mentioned in an interview he was modeling this company after China. That should say it all.
Over time the service is not what it used to be and their products seem to be 90 % or more....made in China. I'm now finding prices and product quality often better by ordering from other places.
I not long ago ordered a $10. item from Amazon and it turned out that the company it shipped from was in CHINA ! it literally was shipped to me FROM CHINA ! And obviously took forever ! This is nuts. I now always check out every company that ships any item listed on Amazon before ordering. And increasingly.....yup....China., China,China so I'm ordering elsewhere. I have nothing against China personally, per se, but...take it for what it's worth. If the American economy is going to survive, it just seems people need to start turning to alternatives even if it does cost a bit more. Otherwise, the ultimate "cost" of what's happening here ...well, I think it's obvious.
how can American manufacturers compete with Chinese manufactures on price ?
@@phileo99 In general, they can't. And of course the CCP certainly knows that. There is a lot more at stake here than money. Believe it or not, money is not everything and if a society has no values or freedom, money is pretty useless in the long run.
@@phileo99 i hardly see anything made in USNA but made in china is everywhere.
Great. My neighborhood had Amazon deliveries left next to their driveway about half way up on Friday night/Saturday morning.
That last quote says it all: Amazon "will compete with their customers, will compete with their partners, will compete with themselves.”. I feel sorry for anyone who climbs in bed with Amazon. Amazon has never done anything really well, they've just done a lot of it.
Stop using the term “latin x” we don’t like it. We are Latinos.

12:30 Can we all stop an appreciate the amazon worker just flinging packages into the truck lol
Normal day at any shipping company
12:30 this is why my Amazon packages come broken. They let this guy do that.
That’s not even safe stacking too. I load trucks at Amazon and if safety caught me doing that they tell me to take the whole pile out and restart
Not "let", more like force
@@SithLordTorment How long does one person take to load a truck like that properly? It seems like a very tideous job.
Every single shipping employee be it Fedex/UPS/Amazon does this. Try working the job and after a week you will do it too.
The teamsters should be delivering everyone’s packages.
Yes
People want things fast tho..
In the future, we’re going to look back at this video and say, “remember UPS???Remember when monopoly was just a game and not real life???” 😫
2026: Amazon decides to buy the FTC and declares itself not a monopoly.
If the lowly paid Amazon employees stood together and unionized. But they hire mostly immigrants and young dum gig workers to stop the thought of unionized ing
12:32 - i like the way they throw the boxes... maybe a plastic or paper product, but also maybe a RAM or CPU or Hard-drive.
It is an open secret that most, if not all, the transport companies interact, using warehouses or other resources during down times. This adds to efficiency and can only help the companies save $$$ and thus help all of us in the end.
Government should put a leash on Amazon
it's high time now
Much higher tax for mega corps
How about better pay for last mile delivery and better break time ..I would never want my own stuff shipped via Amazon
Start your own company and compete then
What does an “equity officer” have to do with this report?
So this explains a lot. Probably why I am getting packages from Amazon that were ordered through external dealers and should have been shipped by USPS, UPS, or FedEx. It also explains why they regularly do not meet their 2-day Prime guarantees anymore. Why ship your own products when 3rd party will pay more.
I’ve been saying this for awhile. Amazon is going to take over a lot of industries and the government will have to step in. I knew they’d want the delivery business. I think grocery shopping is next
Already purchased Whole Foods.
They already started grocery delivery business...This company is f-kng greedy..its not good for people
@@vinaybhat7670 why is it not good for people?
It's only a monopoly if the government overlords don't like it.
They already have started in groceries/supermarkets. Amazon Fresh stores have started popping up - scan in with your app and leave the store when finished.
Amazon is becoming too big!
idk what they are talking about in my area shipping went from 1day to 2 days to 1 week and now its typicly ups or fedex delivering prime packages
13:00 my favorite 🤩 part. The white brick 🧱 wall scenery backdrop moving in the background.
Ups didnt start flying planes til the 1930s. Fedex somewhere in the 1970s. Amazon air didnt start til 2016 and already built up a mini empire. That says a lot tbh.
They have an extremely efficient business model.
When you have more money than you can do with then of course you can spend like tomorrow on projects
@@slowanddeliberate6893 they can spend endless amount of money no other company can compete with. THEY ARE A WEB SERVICE COMPANY not a delivery company. this is just a side hustle with their mountains excess cash
No it doesn’t ups & fedex pay taxes plus don’t have 500k contractors footing the bill on low shipping rates.
Out of the 500k contractors Amazon has in shipping name one that is profitable. Ups drivers make $30-$45/hr and the company still turns a profit not too many companies can make that statement.
Nice job. CNBC deserves credit for such a quality video
No Amazon doesn’t have vans in every neighborhood! Amazon needs to concentrate on delivering 100% of their products before trying to deliver other products!! I work for USPS for 25 years and Amazon is killing us…yes a lot of post offices have lost Amazon but we haven’t and personally I can’t wait to loose them!!!!
Lies again? QNB Changi Airport
Does Prime still delivery same day? Most of the stuff I order say same day delivery but get it me in 2-4days 90% of the time.
UPS has a hundred years of infrastructure and assets. It will be awhile before they can move a comparable amount of volume.
give it a few years, they will leapfrog them how Netflix flew by blockbuster when they rejected the buyout
UPS is very outdated though. Their drivers don’t even have a built in GPS I don’t think.
