Amazon may soon launch a national delivery service

Amazon may soon enact its next plan to capture the retail sphere. 

The company is close to launching Shipping With Amazon, a full-scale national delivery service, according to a Wall Street Journal report that cites anonymous sources. The service is poised to compete with with delivery service giants FedEx and United Parcel Service (UPS) as well as the United States Postal Service. 

The rollout won't be immediate. It will first launch in L.A. following a trial that began over a year ago, the reports said, with an expansion to more cities later this year.
