Amazon Logistics arrives in Brazil clashing with Correios
- For now, Jeff Bezos’ company calls service providers in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Brasília.
Seeking to rely less and less on other carriers without completely replacing them, Amazon is preparing to launch a strong competitor in Brazil for Correios, Loggi and others with Amazon Logistics, a network of small independent delivery companies to act on their behalf. The strategy is similar to that of Mercado Livre, which reduced its dependence on the state company from 90% to 20% in three years.
For now, Jeff Bezos’ company calls service providers in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Brasília. “With low initial costs, integrated demand and access to Amazon’s technology and logistics expertise, this is an opportunity to build and develop a successful parcel delivery business,” he argues.
