The fundamental annoyance I have is not only Amazon&#x27;s (apparently) preferential pricing, but the e-Packet from China pricing.<p>As a consumer I can see the advantage to me, but it seems wildly unfair to Mouser &#x2F; Digikey and the 1000s of much smaller businesses in the USA to have to pay more to ship a small parcel from Denver CO to somewhere in CA, than an e-Packet from HongKong to e.g. Plattsburgh, NY. It has to be hurting the ability to compete of lots of US based businesses...

The invisible hand is now the wizened old hand of a cantankerous idiot.

So Amazon will just pass the cost on to the customer, like any business would.

Ugh. I still order things from non-prime sellers, so that would hurt.

It might not have the effect President Trump anticipated. In my area (south eastern MA) Amazon has switched to it&#x27;s own delivery system for the &quot;last mile&quot; at least. This will only accelerate this direction until the &quot;Drones&quot; takeover.

Can Trump have command over what USPS does with their business tactics?

Then when Amazon creates a new distribution mechanism using AI they&#x27;ll be surprised.<p>I like the dream of decentralized delivery agents where no central authority can take a cut or intercede.<p>Edit: What the hell, it turns out amazon deliveries are government subsidized to the tune of ~$1.5&#x2F;each.

Will someone please think of these poor &amp; suffering record profit breaking Fortune 100 companies?

I hope they do, the Amazon packages I get through USPS are often late. It’ll force Amazon to go with the quicker alternatives.

Trump has repeatedly said without evidence that deliveries for Amazon were costing the service money...<p>How about this article in the Wall Street journal and the analysis done by Citibank?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wsj.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;why-the-post-office-gives-amazon-special-delivery-1522603826?mod=trending_now_1&amp;tesla=y" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wsj.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;why-the-post-office-gives-amazo...</a><p>The Washington Examiner?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonexaminer.com&#x2F;for-every-amazon-package-it-delivers-the-postal-service-loses-146" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonexaminer.com&#x2F;for-every-amazon-package-...</a>
