According to TechCrunch, this is the second contract with Amazon that FedEx has allowed to end without renewal.
As of August 2019, FedEx will not be providing any last-mile delivery service for Amazon, in addition to its Express air freight.
Amazon is expanding its own shipping capabilities, adding more aircraft to its fleet, and deploying ground-based wheeled delivery robots for last-mile package transportation. The company has also begun its own Delivery Service Partner program to fund and support delivery startup businesses.
