Bernstein analyst David Vernon believes Amazon (AMZN) is trying to grow Fulfillment by Amazon volume without growing the FBA physical footprint. The "Ship with Amazon" feature seems like an attempt to make Amazon transportation options available to a select list of merchants who do not wish to pay Amazon for the cost of storing their inventory the fulfillment centers, he contends. The analyst believes UPS (UPS) and FedEx (FDX) need to enforce commercial discipline and communicate better.

The lease renewal appears to be dependent on FedEx separately renewing its dedicated service agreement with a company in an adjacent building, the firm added.
