It's About Time The Empire Has Some Legit Competition
SHIP TIL YOU DROP
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Unless it’s FedEx and Walmart’s announcement that they are joining forces to compete against the evil Bezonian empire.
The deal calls for installing FedEx shipping centers in 500 Walmart locations. The launch comes after a successful pilot launch in 47 stores showed increased foot traffic.
The biggest drug dealer in the US has lofty expectations for the partnership. A major draw for FedEx’s in-store footprint is an option to receive shipments at the center itself. A huge win for package thieves and customers alike.
Walmart’s goal is to become a one-stop shop for all of its customers’ needs and adding print, pack, and ship services is a step towards world domination. While some of their online sales figures have been a little suspect lately, an in-store experience is something no e-tailer can offer. This is right about the time that Jeff Bezos says “hold my beer.”
Of course, Amazon remains a very real threat to both of these businesses. Jeffrey Commerce and Co. plan to launch their own shipping service.
Water Cooler Talking Point: “Props to FedEx for being the first to act and see the writing on the wall with Amazon bringing B2B shipping in-house. Not sure what UPS is going to do, and I’m VERY worried about USPS. What I do know is the “Uber for mail” is being developed somewhere as we speak.”
