Additionally, some high-volume parcel carriers, such as Amazon.com, are developing and implementing in-house delivery capabilities and using independent contractors for deliveries, and may be seen as competitors.

For example, Amazon.com is investing significant capital to establish a network of centers, airplanes, and vehicles.

Many of FedEx Express’ international competitors are government-owned, controlled, or subsidized carriers, which may have greater resources, lower costs, less sensitivity to earnings, and more favorable operating conditions.
