I was wondering the other day if Amazon should have just outright bought UPS. I doubt it would be in the public&#x27;s best interest, but it seems like it would make sense for Amazon.<p>Of course, they seem to be on track to compete directly with them instead.<p>I told my friend a few years ago that Amazon was my best guess for an existing company to become &quot;the company&quot; from the Alien movies (or other corporate future scifi), and it seems more and more likely every year.
