"According to several reports, this month Amazon commenced with talks to lease 20 cargo planes. This is a move that would give Amazon full control over its transportation costs and its fulfillment schedules, by allowing the company to cut out the 3PL airfreight services that it currently relies on—services that, as these reports point out, have caused frustrations beyond Amazon’s control" . . .

"On average, e-commerce now accounts for an average of 11.85% of North American 3PLs' revenue, and CEOs predict it will increase to 20.85% in three years.

The survey also noted that ride-sharing companies, most notably Uber, are believed to potentially pose a threat to aspects of the 3PL industry in the future by providing last-mile delivery services and taking business away from small-volume couriers."

"As for Amazon's competitive threat to existing 3PLs, those companies would be well advised to prepare for the possibility that Amazon will make a major push into their industry. As noted earlier, Jeff Bezos has often been quoted as saying that he is not sure whether retailing will continue to be Amazon's core business. If it's not retailing, then it may well be the logistics service industry."
