LOS ANGELES—Amazon.com Inc. wants to hire thousands of seasonal delivery drivers to supplement services provided by the U.S. Post Office, United Parcel Service Inc., FedEx Corp., and its own delivery partners, the company said on Nov. 5.
The move comes as the online retailer is also recruiting new delivery service partners, or DSPs, to help reduce delivery costs that more than tripled to $21.7 billion between 2013 and 2017.
