Amazon's Last Mile delivery service might change the way we send packages for good.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the online retailer is currently testing out the service, which allows Amazon packages to be sent straight to consumers' doors - no UPS or FedEx necessary.
The company is reportedly well on its way to surpassing other providers.
"Amazon is growing at a faster speed than UPS and FedEx, who are responsible for shipping the majority of our packages," Amazon said in a job posting on their website.
"At this rate Amazon cannot continue to rely solely on the solutions provided through traditional logistics providers," the company said in the statement. "To do so will limit our growth, increase costs and impede innovation in delivery capabilities. Last Mile is the solution to this. It is a program which is going to revolutionize how shipments are delivered to millions of customers."
The company unofficially launched the service in the United States through their own postal codes at the end of 2013. The codes include AMZL, and AMZN_US on packages, which Amazon uses in its in-house delivery network, according to The Journal. The process is not connected to another shipping company.
The online retailer is now looking over plans for keeping equipment and delivery trucks on San Francisco's Treasure Island.
Amazon reportedly wants to utilize the area to send out delivery vehicles throughout San Francisco, Calif., late at night and and early in the morning when roads don't have much traffic, and residents aren't bothered The Journal reported.
Amazon is also evaluating the Last Mile delivery service in the United Kingdom.
"We've created our own fast, last-mile delivery networks in the U.K., where commercial carriers couldn't support our peak volumes," the company said. "There is more invention to come."
