Amazon is testing its own delivery service that can bring items from third-party merchants on its platform to consumers. The "Seller Flex" service is being piloted on the west coast of the United States and an expansion is planned for 2018. It previously rolled out in India.
This gives merchants an alternative way to have their items picked up, placed under Amazon's control, and delivered to consumers. It'll be a long time before the online retailer can move away from UPS and FedEx entirely, but it's headed in that direction.
