According to foreign media reports recently, Amazon is providing customized ground parcel transportation services for its selected mass customers, with freight rates as low as $3 per piece, transportation weights up to 50 pounds, and long-distance transportation is supported.

It is reported that this transportation service has been launched in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and may be launched in other regions in the future. The price varies according to the individual needs of each shipper. The price of US $3 per box is applicable to short distance packages weighing 1 to 3 pounds or long-distance packages weighing 50 pounds. The delivery date and time will depend on the transportation information and requirements of each customer.

The maximum weight of each package is 50 pounds. According to a person familiar with the matter, a customer agreement shows that the volume of the package for bidding should not exceed 24 cubic inches.

Under this service, Amazon will pick up goods from Monday to Friday, and deliver goods seven days a week. Amazon selects the delivery provider. The person familiar with the matter said that for those who pick up less than 50 parcels, they will be charged $10 each. However, Amazon objected to this, saying that it did not charge a pickup fee at all.

The insider said that the transportation project is also open to sellers in other e-commerce platforms and Amazon. In recent months, e-commerce companies such as eBay and Shopify have launched logistics distribution projects to attract customers who originally used Amazon for logistics distribution to use their services instead. The transportation project launched by Amazon at this time may be a counterattack against these competitors.

Amazon rates sellers according to a series of indicators. A good rating is very valuable, while a bad rating may have a negative impact on e-commerce sellers. The person said that according to an agreement, if there is a problem with Amazon ground delivery service, it will not affect the seller's rating.
