Amazon is in discussions with a longtime partner about the path going forward. The online giant said it is discussions with the U.S. Postal Service about its future relationship and considering its options before its current contract expires, reported Reuters. The current agreement between the two parties expires in October 2026. Under the current agreement, Amazon accounts for roughly 7.5% of the agency’s revenue in 2025, according to The Washington Post, which also said that Amazon was considering cutting ties with the USPS. But in e-mailed remarks to Chain Store Age, Amazon said that, from the start, "we have disagreed with the framing of the Washington Post’s piece." "It's not our plans to cut ties with the USPS— in fact it's the opposite," Amazon told Chain Store Age. "Without a doubt, our goal is to continue working with the USPS, as we have done for the past 30+ years and are going to continue to push to reach an agreement."
