Amazon is preparing to launch a two-hour delivery service in Berlin, and has ordered a site on the city's fashionable Kurfürstendamm "to be repurposed as a warehouse for more than 10,000 articles from the online retailer's assortment," Reuters reported, citing "Berlin transport sources" who spoke with the German newspaper Welt. Deliveries would begin in May and initially be carried out by courier firms already active in the city. "Until now, Amazon has mostly used Deutsche Post's DHL parcel service for deliveries in Germany, and its move to build up its own delivery capabilities is seen as a threat to DHL's business," Reuters noted.
