3 Market Forces Shaping How We Buy & Sell Things
summary
Company Shippo powers shipping for 35,000 e-commerce stores and has shipped 70 million packages in four years, claiming shipping costs ate into margins as US businesses spent about $99 billion on shipping and $1.5 trillion on logistics. Core claims: Amazon reshapes expectations (roughly 49% of US e‑commerce), direct‑to‑consumer brands win with branded experiences and unboxing, and modern stacks (Shopify, Stripe, shipping APIs) let small sellers scale while outsourcing the painful shipping plumbing.
