This move comes as Amazon, the USPS' largest customer, negotiates a new contract set to expire in October 2026. The negotiations are complicated by privatization efforts. Amazon already has a significant logistics network, including vans and drones, and is developing autonomous vehicles. The USPS relies on Amazon for billions in annual revenue.
