Kwimfazwe yayo neWalmart kunye nabanye abathengisi, iAmazon ifumana i-US Postal Service iya kujongwa njengenyukliya ngenxa yefuthe elikhulu kwiinkampani iAmazon ezikhuphisana nezona zininzi.UEmily Cegielski woBukele Kutshanje ndibhale inqaku elinesihloko, Ngaba iWalmart yaqinisekisa iFedEx ukuba ilahle iAmazon? apho ndenza khona impikiswano yokuba iWalmart iqeqeshe iFedEx ukuba ithathe isigqibo sokuphelisa ikhontrakthi ye-Express yokuthumela kunye neAmazon. Akusiyo imfihlo ukuba ubudlelwane phakathi kweAmazon neFedEx buye bambi njengoko iAmazon ikhula ngokukhula kwishishini lokwenza izinto. Kwiminyaka eliqela, umsunguli we-FedEx kunye ne-CEO uFred Smith wenza intetho ephindaphindayo yokuba iAmazon ayisiyongo kuFedEx. Kodwa ngoku, uSmith uvumile ukuba iAmazon ngenene ikhuphisana nayo kwaye sele iqalile ukubhekisa kwisoyikiso esandayo seenkampani ezinje ngeAmazon ezenze ezazo izibonelelo.
I-Walmart kunye neAmazon zikonyuse kakhulu ukugxila komnye nomnye ngeenkampani zombini ezifuna iindlela zokufumana isandla esiphezulu kwelinye ngesicwangciso kunye nolungiselelo. Kwisithuba esingaphantsi kweentsuku ezingama-30, bobabini iAmazon kunye neWalmart benze uthotho lwezaziso ezinxulumene nokuhambisa ngemini enye, kunye neAmazon yokunyusa iWalmart ngo-Amazon ukwazisa Ukuhanjiswa simahla kwezinto ezili-10 ezigidi zamalungu eNkulumbuso. Ndilindele ukubona umlo wamalungiselelo phakathi kweWalmart kunye neAmazon inyuka njengoko inkampani nganye izama ukukhulisa isiseko sabathengi kunye nokwandisa umthamo weemveliso ezithengisiweyo nezihanjisiweyo.
Bhalisa kwiNcwadana yeShishini yaBabukeli
Nangona kunjalo, ngaxa lithile kumzi mveliso weentengiso, umntu kufuneka enze intshukumo enkulu eya kuthi iphazamise kakhulu abanye abathengisi, ngelixa esenza imeko yokhuphiswano olungenakoyiswa. Itit yokutsala kwenzeka phakathi kwabathengisi, ngakumbi iWalmart kunye IAmazon , ayigcineki. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba eyona nkampani ibekwe kakuhle ukwenza inyathelo elikhulu yiAmazon.
Ukucinga Okukhulu eAmazon
IAmazon yinkampani yeengcinga ezinkulu. Ngapha koko, omnye wemigaqo yobunkokheli kwiAmazon ithi ‘Cinga ngokuKhulu,’ kwaye eli gama lithethwa rhoqo ngaphakathi kwenkampani. Ukuze iAmazon ikhule kwaye ithathe isabelo sentengiso kude neWalmart kunye nabanye abathengisi, iAmazon kufuneka inyuse ubungakanani kunye nobubanzi benethiwekhi kunye nezinto ezinokubakho. Abathengisi bezitena kunye nodaka ziingcali kwiipelethi ezihambayo. IAmazon inobungcali kwiiphakheji zokuhambisa. Ke ngoko, iAmazon ifuna ukubanako kokubanzi kwemayile yokugqibela kunabathengisi bendabuko kunye nodaka. IAmazon iceba ukutyala imali eyongezelelekileyo eyi- $ 800 yezigidi ngo-2019 kwinethiwekhi yayo, kodwa akwanelanga ukunika iAmazon ithuba lokukhuphisana. I-Walmart, kunye neKhaya eDepho, batyale imali ezibhiliyoni kwi-e-yorhwebo nakwizinto zokuthengisa. Kwakhona, tit for tat.
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba lifikile ixesha lokuba iAmazon ihambise inyukliya kwiWalmart nakubo bonke abanye abathengisi eU.S. Njani? Ngokufumana i-US Postal Service (USPS).
Igama lomdlalo weAmazon lihambisa iiphakheji kubathengi kwizixeko nakwimimandla abahlala kuyo. Ixesha. Isixeko esikhulu, isixeko esincinci. Emaphandleni okanye edolophini, akunamsebenzi. Njengoko ishishini le-e-commerce laseAmazon likhula, kukwanjalo nemfuno yabaqhubi yokuhambisa iiphakheji. Ngokungafaniyo nokuthenga okuqhelekileyo ngokwesiko, apho abathengi bangena kwivenkile ethengisa izinto ezibonakalayo ukuze bathenge iimveliso ezishelfini, i-e-commerce iphumelela ngokuthumela iimveliso ngqo kwikhaya lomthengi. Ukuhanjiswa kweemayile zokugqibela akunangeniso njengoko uninzi lweelori zokuhambisa kufuneka zihambe imigama emide phakathi kokuhanjiswa. Ukuqhuba ilori yokuhambisa kuxabisa imali, kwaye abaqhubi abaqhubi simahla. Uqoqosho lokuhanjiswa kweemayile zokugqibela luyaphucuka xa izithuthi zokuhambisa ziqhuba iimayile ezingaphantsi kwaye zinika iipakeji ezininzi kwiradiyo encinci ukusuka apho zisuka khona. 
Ngokufumana iNkonzo yePosi yase-U.S., IAmazon iya kufumana ukufikelela kumanqaku ayi-158, 600,000; Iindlela zokuhambisa ezingama-231,843; Izithuthi ezingama-232,372 zokuhambisa; Ngama-634, 447 abasebenzi; kunye ne- $ 70 yezigidigidi kwingeniso yonyaka.Ifoto nguSpencer Platt / Getty Izithombe
Umcimbi omkhulu ngakumbi ojamelene neAmazon, nangona kunjalo, kukuba ukukhula kweAmazon kuye kwaphakamisa uthotho lweeflegi ezibomvu kunye namalungu eCongress, uMongameli uDonald Trump kunye nabagqatswa abaliqela beDemokhrasi abalekela umongameli. IAmazon iphantsi kwemicroscope kwaye ubushushu buyanda.
Ukusombulula iingxaki zayo, ndiyakholelwa ukuba iAmazon kufuneka isondele kuTrump ngesisombululo sendlela yokwenza ukuba iUSPS isebenze ngakumbi kwaye isuse ilahleko ebalulekileyo kwingeniso efunyanwa yinkonzo yeposi. I-USPS ilahlekile i-69 yezigidigidi zeedola ukusukela ngo-2007 kwaye iya kuqhubeka nokuphulukana nemali ngaphandle kokuba kukho iinguqu ezinkulu. Iarhente ine- $ 110 yezigidigidi kumatyala angahlawulwanga omhlala phantsi kunye nokhathalelo lwempilo, kwaye abasebenzi bayo bafumana izibonelelo zomhlala-phantsi ezingaphezulu minyaka le. Ngaphandle kohlengahlengiso olukhulu, i-USPS kulindeleke ukuba ilahle amashumi ezigidi zeedola kule minyaka ilishumi izayo. I-Ofisi yoXanduva lukaRhulumente (i-GAO) ibeka i-USPS kuluhlu lwayo olunomngcipheko omkhulu ngenxa yemeko yayo yezemali. Kuyo yonke imiba kwi-radar kaTrump, ukusombulula iqhina lePosi yase-U.S kufuneka ibe yenye yezona zinto ziphambili kuye.
Andikukhuthazi ukuba iAmazon ifumane iUSPS ukuba ithumele kuphela iipakeji zayo. IAmazon iya kucelwa ukuba ithumele iposi kunye neephakeji zayo nayiphi na inkampani eneemvumelwano zeUSPS. Ixabiso elicwangcisiweyo kwiAmazon kukuba abo bakhuphisana nabo abakwazanga ukulahla iUSPS njengoko ingekho enye indlela efanelekileyo. Endaweni yoko, iinkampani kuya kufuneka ziyamkele inyani yokuba iAmazon ngoku ihambisa iipakeji zayo.
Ngokukodwa, into endikucebisayo yile ilandelayo:
1. IAmazon inezivumelwano neearhente zikarhulumente, kubandakanya isivumelwano seminyaka eli-10 kunye neCIA ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zeteknoloji yefu esebenzisa i-AWS. IAmazon iyathandwa ukuba iphumelele iikhontrakthi zamafu ezizayo ezilungiselelwe iiarhente zikarhulumente ezongezelelweyo ngo-2019. Isivumelwano seAmazon sokuqhuba itekhnoloji ye-USPS kwi-AWS kangangeminyaka eli-10.
2. Cela imali kwiCongress ukuxhasa ngemali amatyala angahlawulwanga e-USPS kwaye ubuze ukuba basuse imithetho emininzi yakudala ethintela i-USPS ukuba ingakhuphisani ngokufanelekileyo.
3. Ikhontrakthi yeAmazon ukuze isebenze ngokudibeneyo kunye nobunkokeli be-USPS ukusebenzisa ubungcali beAmazon kulungiselelo lokuhamba kunye nokuhanjiswa kweemayile zokugqibela ukuchonga uthungelwano olulungileyo lwezothutho kunye nolungiselelo lwenethiwekhi ngeposi kunye nokuhanjiswa kwempahla.
4. Ikhontrakthi yeAmazon yokuqhuba iUSPS iminyaka eli-10 ngokhetho kwiAmazon ukufumana inkonzo yeposi. Ekupheleni kweminyaka eli-10, inkqubo yokubhida eyakhiweyo kufuneka ibekwe endaweni yokuvumela iAmazon kunye nezinye iinkampani ukuba zibize ngokusesikweni ukufumana iUSPS. (Izifundo ezininzi ezixhaswe ngurhulumente wase-US ngokubhekisele kwinkonzo yeposi zicebise ukuba kubekwe bucala i-USPS.) Ukuba injongo kukwenza inkonzo yabucala yePosi yase-US ibekho, i-USPS kufuneka ifunyanwe umntu othile . Ivoti yam kukuba iAmazon kufuneka iyifumane.
5. Thengisa amalungelo okuqamba iibhokisi zeposi kwiAmazon kwaye unike iAmazon igunya lokuchaza, ukuyila, ukususa, ukufaka, ukulawula, ukusebenzisa nokugcina iibhokisi zeposi. Cwangcisa umrhumo we-UPS, i-FedEx kunye nabanye abathumeli ukuhambisa iiphakheji kwibhokisi yeposi. (Oku kubalulekile ngokuvumela iAmazon ukuba inyuse iitshixo zayo ukuze ziphucule inkonzo yeposi kwaye ibonelele abathengi ngamava angcono kubathengi.)
6. Yiphucule imeko yokuposa kunye nokuphelisa ukusetyenziswa kwezitampu.
7. Ikhontrakthi yeAmazon ichonga eyona modeli ilungileyo yeshishini apho intengiso yomzimba / yeintanethi inokudityaniswa nenkonzo yeposi ukuze kuveliswe ingeniso eyongezelelweyo. Kukho iiofisi ezingama-31,324 e-U.S. Cinga ukuba iAmazon inikwe ubungqongqo bokuvala iiofisi zeposi kwaye ihambise iinkonzo ezinikezelwa yi-USPS Ukutya okupheleleyo , IAmazon Go okanye enye indlela yokuthengisa. IAmazon inokubonelela ngekhemesti, ukubhenka, iiklinikhi zempilo kunye nezinye iinkonzo. Kwizixeko ezininzi nakwimimandla apho kukho iiposi, akukho zivenkile zokutya okanye iivenkile ezilula. IAmazon inokutshintsha i-equation, ikhokelele kwixabiso elikhulu elenziwa.
8. Nika iAmazon igunya lokufumana izinto njengokufumana i-XPO Logistics okanye enye inkampani yeqela lesithathu yokunika i-USPS amandla okwandisa ukuhambisa kunye nokuhambisa iimveliso ezinkulu kakhulu ukuba zingene kwinethiwekhi yemveli yepasile (ifanitshala, izixhobo zokuzilolonga kunye nezinye izinto ezinzima / ezinkulu iimveliso). Oku kuya kuvelisa iibhiliyoni ezongezelelweyo kwingeniso ye-US Postal Service.
9. Vumela iAmazon ukuba yenze ubuhlakani bobuchule nayo nayiphi na inkampani ayikhethayo, ukuba oko kuyayiphucula imeko yabathengi; kwandisa ukusebenza kakuhle; kunciphisa iindleko kunye nobunzima; kwaye yonyusa ukusebenza kwe-USPS ukuvelisa ingeniso kunye neenzuzo. 
Ukuze iAmazon ikhule kwaye ithathe isabelo sentengiso kude neWalmart kunye nabanye abathengisi, iAmazon kufuneka inyuse ubungakanani kunye nobubanzi benethiwekhi kunye nezinto ezinokubakho.UHelen H. Richardson / iMediaNews Group / iDenver Post ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty
Kwimfazwe yayo neWalmart kunye nabanye abathengisi, iAmazon ifumana i-US Postal Service iya kujongwa njengenyukliya ngenxa yefuthe elikhulu kwiinkampani iAmazon ezikhuphisana nezona zininzi. KwiAmazon, ukufumana iUSPS kuya kujongwa ngokuqinisekileyo yiCongress; IAmazon, inkampani ekhathalela isiqu sayo kuphela, inokuba ngumsindisi kwishishini elilahlekelwa yimali (iUSPS) kwaye ivelise intando entle egameni leCongress nabantu baseMelika.
Ukongeza, iAmazon iya kufumana ukufikelela kwi-158,600,000 yeendawo zokuhambisa; Iindlela zokuhambisa ezingama-231,843; Izithuthi ezingama-232,372 zokuhambisa; Ngama-634, 447 abasebenzi; kunye ne- $ 70 yezigidigidi kwingeniso yonyaka. Ichazwe ngenye indlela, iAmazon yayiya kuba ngumnini wenethiwekhi yothungelwano lweemayile zokugqibela eMelika. Ukunika iAmazon ubhetyebhetye bokuhlengahlengisa abasebenzi be-USPS, ukuvala kunye nokufudusa iiposi, ukwakha kunye nokuvula iindawo zentengiso / zeposi ezidityanisiweyo, kunye nokwandisa ubungakanani beenkonzo ezinikezelwa yi-USPS kuya kusombulula imiba ebetha iPosi yase-US ngoku. Inkonzo. Izimvo ezongezelelweyo zokwenza ukuba i-USPS isebenze ngakumbi inokufumaneka Apha .
Ukuphelisa nakuphi na ukuxhalaba kwimidlalo yeAmazon uthungelwano ukuze izinike inzuzo ngaphezulu kweemveliso zokuhambisa ezinye iinkampani, iCongress inokugunyazisa ukuba i-GAO kunye neenkampani ezininzi zomntu wesithathu ziphicothe amaxabiso e-Amazon kunye nokusebenza ukuqinisekisa ubulungisa kunye nokwenza izinto elubala.
IAmazon yokufumana i-USPS ayisiyontsomi. Ukuba UJeff Bezos Wenza isigqibo sokusebenza noTrump kunye namalungu eCongress, uBezos angathetha-thethana ngesivumelwano esikhokelela eAmazon ekugqibeleni afumane i-US Postal Service. Ukusuka kwinqanaba lembono yeqhinga, ndiyakholelwa ukuba iAmazon ifumana iUSPS lelona nyathelo likhulu leAmazon elinokuthi lenze ithuba lokudala ukhuphiswano olungenakoyiswa nanjengoko inxulumene nolungiselelo kunye nokuhanjiswa kweemayile zokugqibela. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yeAmazon yokutshintsha ingxelo kwiCongress yokuba iAmazon kufuneka yaphulwe. Lixesha kuphela eliza kuxela ukuba le nto ndiyibhalileyo iyinyani.
