Is Uber Bleeding to Death?

In the sense you ask, because the only product being cherry picked from Uber is transport *here*, whereas the thing which isn't in fact being cherry picked from Amazon is mail ordering a specialist product. You can of course also compete with Amazon using Amazon's platform! Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the @ to reply. |

Not everyone has Prime either. |

Or sell them cheaper than Amazon. It's not a sustainable business to sell things cheaper than Amazon, while also paying them to use the platform. -- Roland Perry |

Prime is faster, there's also their free postage offering. Yes, but if you don't order often the membership fee is fairly hefty. Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the @ to reply. |

Less postage than Amazon, who will have negotiated the very best discounts. IME (not necessarily with Amazon) postage is charged in fixed chunks with say 6.95 as the smallest chunk, when all the delivery of the specific item requires is a jiffy bag and a 2nd class stamp not everyone has Prime Prime is faster, there's also their free postage offering. The things that I looked for didn't "qualify" tim |
