"Amazon makes clear it's now competing with shippers like FedEx and UPS in its annual filing"

It sounds like Amazon's plan is to acquire/merge with one or more existing air/ground carriers.

I sure do love Walmart.com. Free shipping! 
Yes I’m being a little sarcastic. But the point is, Amazon isn’t the only retailer who’s selling other companies “stuff” under their name and marketing umbrella. They will not rule the world and run Walmart, Target, UPS, FedEx out of business.

~Amazon beats out Walmart currently in online sales and third party retailers.
~Walmart beats out Amazon currently with brick and mortar stores.
The two are rapidly advancing into each other’s area of expertise. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
