I was in this field for just over 15 years and specifically during the Amazon deal times. The idea was that Amazon was mapping the FedEx and UPS networks to clone. FedEx and UPS decided to take the easy money while Amazon was getting started (because they would get there anyway) and get out when it became more direct competition.

Amazon distribution centers started popping up within a few miles of the traditional players and it seems like that time to diverge is here.

This has been the plan for awhile and the timing with FedEx seems less sour grapes (to me) and more of a competitive jab.
