Big and Bulky

A new report issued by Brookfield, Wis.-based supply chain consultancy and global third-party logistics (3PL) research provider Armstrong & Associates, in collaboration with the National Home Delivery Association, examines the current state of a key aspect of the last-mile delivery market, big and bulky last-mile delivery.

Executives from San Diego-based parcel consultancy Shipware offered up some observations on this development, with Amazon and FedEx renewing business ties, following a June 2019 breakup, in which FedEx announced it made a “strategic decision” not to renew the FedEx Express U.S. contract with Amazon, as it focused on serving the broader e-commerce market.
