Our intent is straightforward: if refunds are issued to FedEx, we will issue refunds for IEEPA tariffs paid to the shippers and consumers who originally bore those charges.

The lawsuits argue that the shipping companies never should have charged the fees in the first place, and that the shippers, not the government, owe the customers.

"Transportation costs are a big factor there. Every company that is involved and has logistics and they have to pay for gas, either they have to absorb this cost, or they will charge the third party that will provide this service.

In enterprise commerce, totals don't drift because someone forgot algebra. They drift because reality changes: promos expire, eligibility changes when an address arrives, catalog data updates, substitutions happen, and returns unwind prior discounts. When someone asks "why did the total change?" you need more than narration. You need evidence - a trail of facts you can replay and a pure computation that deterministically produces the same result.

The European Commission has launched a new antitrust probe into Google, expanding its long-running scrutiny of the tech giant's advertising practices. Regulators suspect the company may be manipulating the pricing of its search ad auctions, potentially inflating clearing prices "to the detriment of advertisers," according to a February 9 letter sent to affected businesses and seen by Bloomberg.

That's a problem. Without a doubt, a great website and top-level marketing will help generate new sales, but it's the delivery experience that warrants future ones.

What's more, they remember the way a product arrives at their doorstep more than how it was sold.

Amazon automation isn't a magic button. It's a business model, and like any business model, outcomes vary based on execution. The short answer is yes, it can be profitable. The honest answer is that it depends entirely on how it's done and who is running it.

The American Customer Satisfaction Survey rates hundreds of companies in dozens of categories. In its latest study, the Retail and Consumer Shipping Study 2026, Amazon.com Inc.

The technology underpinning retail operations is under scrutiny in 2026 as fashion executives look to streamline systems with the aim to unlock efficiency, cut costs and meet consumer expectations for speed and personalisation in the shopping journey.

You're scrolling through an online retailer, like Amazon, Shein or eBay, and spot a shirt on sale for $40. You add it to your cart, but at checkout, a $10 shipping fee suddenly appears. Frustrated, you close the tab. But what if that same shirt was priced at $50 with free shipping? The likelihood that you would have bought it without a second thought is much higher.

Remember grocery store runs? Amazon says those are going extinct. The company revealed that Prime members saved an average of 64 trips to physical stores last year by ordering basics online instead.

Amazon has spent the past year integrating perishable groceries and prescription medications into its same-day delivery network.
