WASHINGTON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Amazon.com (AMZN.O), opens new tab said Thursday the e-commerce giant is in discussions with the U.S. Postal Service about its future relationship and considering its options before its current contract expires next year.
The Washington Post reported Thursday new Postmaster General David Steiner plans to hold a reverse auction in early 2026 that might create more competition within the Post Office for Amazon's business by offering access to postal facilities to the highest bidder, rather than directly to Amazon. It would make the company compete with national retail brands and regional shipping firms.


Is Amazon ready to fly without being carried by an existing logistics company?
Or will this just end up being posturing to get a better contract?
