Two amazing news for this report. First, Amazon Shipping eyeing the customers of FedEx and UPS with the lowest prices. Second, Amazon makes it to Emmy-nominated shows. RSF has more!
Low prices for customers!
Amazon Shipping is a B2B logistics and parcel delivery platform that lets businesses utilize the delivery network of Amazon to ship orders to their end-customers. This is designed for merchants selling items through their own websites or other eCommerce channels.
This platform is looking to offer lower shipping rates to customers of FedEx and UPS, several specialists working with shippers negotiating and handling shipping contracts told the RSF team.
That means up to $6 savings per package through moving eligible residential volume to Amazon Shipping versus comparable FedEx and UPS services at their original prices.
In an interview with ridesharing media, experts are saying that Amazon Shipping’s playbook has often involved attracting shippers with surcharge waivers and less complex pricing versus UPS and FedEx. They cited the offer of Amazon to large retail clients using FedEx as sample.
They added, “Amazon was able to service 90-plus percent of this specific client’s overall distribution. In that 90 percent of coverage, they were able to save 33 percent plus annually beyond FedEx.”

Amazon is on Emmy-nominated shows
Yes, Amazon is flexing, literally, on Emmy-nominated shows.
Things can get confusing here, since as much as show producers want to feature their favorite brands on episodes, this won’t be possible if you ask the management team, since a deal has to be signed.
But, then Amazon did it with the Emmy-nominated shows “The Boys” and “Reacher,” which would have audiences see delivery staff holding boxes with real Amazon logos, as if they are naturally embedded part of the episode.
Jo Shoesmith, Amazon’s deputy of global brands, overseeing this feature, told RSF, “We wanted to show what Prime actually is – one membership that gives you both streaming and fast delivery. By bringing these two worlds together in a playful, literal way, we’re able to demonstrate the full value of the membership in a way that feels natural and engaging rather than transactional.”
“The Boys” sounds satirical, it is satirical. It is a satirical, dark-comedy superhero series on Amazon Prime Video that turns the traditional superhero genre around on its head by depicting “Supes” as corrupt, self-serving celebrities controlled by a greedy corporation. On the other side, there’s “The Boys,” fighting to expose their dark secrets.
Meanwhile, “Reacher” centers around retired military police officer Jack Reacher, arrested for a murder crime he did not commit. So, he finds himself amid a deadly conspiracy filled with dirty cops, shady businessmen, and scheming government officials. Share this article around with your family and friends!
