Amazon can think they will build fedex in next 1 year. I think they're out of their depth. Building software is much different than building manual labour centric systems. Their efforts will be fruitless. To build a shopping website, where things are pretty much well interfaced, it took them, 20 years. Though, they do deserve credit for AWS. Again human systems aren't analogues to software system. They have fortune to spent, so let's spent.

Don't they have a few hundred thousand manual labor employees already?

They aren't building a FedEx in the next year. They already have have a logistics service, they are just opening it to third parties that aren't part of amazon marketplace.
