Amazon isn't a true express package delivery company like FDX that can deliver something from one side of the country (or world) to another in 18 hours via their air network, they are a retailer that stocks dozens of massive fulfillment centers across the country where the bulk of their last mile shipments originate and uses airplanes to move stuff between fulfillment centers.
