Amazon Expands Delivery Trial That Could Hurt FedEx, UPS

Amazon is making a move to expand the amount of products that they offer on the two day shipping service without having to expand their facilities. This is a great move in response to Target and Walmart adding pressure to the market. Adding products to the Prime catalog without adding the necessary fixed costs to store the inventory and staff to fulfill the orders is a sure way to keep and gain more customers.
