Last week, Amazon announced it was launching Amazon Supply Chain Services and offering freight, distribution, fulfillment and parcel shipping to, as it said, “business of all types and sizes.” 

The company also noted that several brands, including Procter & Gamble, 3M and American Eagle Outfitters, were already signed up for Amazon Supply Chain. 

The same day, not coincidentally, Memphis-based FedEx stock dropped nearly 10%. 

In the week since, FedEx’s stock has rebounded, but the story is a good reminder of how the public links FedEx, Amazon and UPS, especially as Amazon continues to build up its logistics business. 

Today, business reporter Steve Bohnel joins us to talk about what the experts think of the move.
