This bgr article has unfortunately completely misunderstood what the news is.

> Amazon may be a one stop shop for home goods, electronics, furniture, clothing and more, but in order to actually get items to your home, the e-commerce giant has to depend on delivery services like FedEx and UPS

No, amazon already has its own logistics company that operates in many locations. The news is that it is now going to offer this to as a service to ship other companies' packages.

From the linked WSJ article:

> Dubbed “Shipping with Amazon,” or SWA, the new service will entail the tech giant picking up packages from businesses and shipping them to consumers, according to people familiar with the matter.




From the bgr article:

> Dubbed “Shipping with Amazon” (SWA), the service will pick up packages from businesses and deliver them to customers.

> Sources claims that Amazon will begin rolling out the service in Los Angeles within the next few weeks in Los Angeles with third-party sellers that do business through Amazon.com.

Seems like the same news.


If so, the bgr article's author has not expressed it clearly.
