Amazon.com is reportedly putting its delivery service business on hold .
According to a Wall Street Journal report, the e-commerce behemoth will not operate its Amazon Shipping starting in June, in order to focus on online orders amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Amazon's foray into the delivery sector had apparently led to FedEx terminating its contract to deliver packages for the online retailer last August.
Even with lower rates, Amazon Shipping, since its launch two years ago, struggled to gain customers beyond its own delivery purposes, J.P. Morgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck mentioned in a note to clients. Ossenbeck arges that Amazon’s halting of its delivery business will give a bigger boost to FedEx than UPS.
