Emirates expands Courier Express service to Australia
Imade: Dubai Media Office Emirates has expanded its Emirates Courier Express service into Australia, reinforcing its commitment to transforming the cross-border delivery landscape. The move comes just months after the service was first launched and is designed to provide businesses and consumers with a faster, more reliable, and flexible logistics solution. 'Since the early test phase of Emirates Courier Express, we knew Australia would be a key market,' said Dennis Lister, senior vice president of product and innovation at Emirates SkyCargo. 'Logistically challenging and historically underserved, businesses and end consumers will feel the benefits of our direct connectivity, high frequency flight schedules and flexible, scalable solution. Emirates has proudly served Australia for over 30 years, bringing the latest and greatest of our offering to the market, across both cargo and passenger operations. Emirates Courier Express is the evolution of this journey, and we look forward to supporting local businesses, and local shoppers, with their cross-border deliveries.' Read: Despite growing consumer trust in cross-border eCommerce, only 6 per cent of international shoppers currently purchase from Australian retailers. According to the International Trade Administration, logistics challenges such as unpredictable costs and lengthy delivery times are key deterrents. On the other hand, inbound small parcel volumes to Australia have increased by 45 per cent over the past two years, and a record number of households now shop online. Adressing challenges Emirates Courier Express is positioned to address these challenges. By leveraging Emirates' passenger network and SkyCargo's logistics expertise, the service bypasses the traditional hub-and-spoke model. Shipments are routed directly through Dubai, which reduces transit time, limits package handling, and enables faster deliveries. The solution supports a variety of shipment types, including high-value and sensitive goods such as medical equipment. It also offers a fully digital experience that can be integrated with customers' existing systems. Real-time tracking and automatic updates give both businesses and their customers full visibility throughout the shipping process. With this expansion into Australia, Emirates Courier Express is creating new growth opportunities for local businesses and improving access for international brands seeking to serve Australian consumers more efficiently.

Emirates Courier Express packages will fly directly into four major cities in Australia – Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney – on 70 flights per week. The existing passenger flight schedule to and from Australia is timed to provide unrivalled connectivity with key destinations in Europe and the Middle East, enabling Emirates Courier Express to offer the fastest door-to-door delivery time in a matter of days. Dennis Lister, Senior Vice President of Product and Innovation at Emirates SkyCargo, said, 'Since the early test phase of Emirates Courier Express, we knew Australia would be a key market. Logistically challenging and historically underserved, businesses and end consumers will feel the benefits of our direct connectivity, high frequency flight schedules and flexible, scalable solution.' Despite the growing consumer trust in cross-border eCommerce retailers, the International Trade Administration reports that only 6 percent of international shoppers are buying from Australia. Challenges with delivery and logistics play a key role, as fluctuating costs and long timelines deter consumers from placing orders. Conversely, the inbound small parcel volume to Australia has increased by 45 percent in the last two years, and a record number of households are shopping online.

Amazon Names MyFBAPrep a Recommended FBA Prep Service Provider
Selection Signals Trust in MyFBAPrep's Scale, Operational Excellence, and Compliance Rigor CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MyFBAPrep, the leading global eCommerce warehouse network, has been selected by Amazon as a Recommended Prep Service Provider for Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), following Amazon's most extensive national vetting process to date. The rigorous evaluation spanned hundreds of performance, compliance, and scalability data points aimed at identifying logistics partners capable of delivering Amazon-grade prep services to its 1.1 million active marketplace sellers in The United States. The program is designed to spotlight a curated handful of logistics providers that can reliably execute prep to meet more than 1 billion units of projected annual demand across the U.S., in accordance with detailed Amazon FBA standards. The program is not only a signal of operational excellence—it positions selected partners to receive inbound prep demand directly from Amazon's Seller Central platform and partner network. To become a Recommended FBA Prep Service Provider, MyFBAPrep had to prove its excellence in the following categories: Execution of Core Prep Services – Providers were required to offer all seven of Amazon's critical prep activities: item labeling, bagging, bubble wrap, cap sealing, boxing, opaque bagging, and set creation. Each service needed to be executed per Amazon's official documentation, including drop-test requirements, suffocation warnings, and barcode compliance standards. National Geographic Reach and Service Agility – The selected vendors needed to demonstrate the ability to serve sellers and ship to Amazon facilities located anywhere in the U.S., including regional demand across central, midwest, and northeast hubs. Capacity to Meet High-Volume Demand – Amazon modeled prep volumes across the network at over 1 billion units annually, including 850M in item labeling and 160M in polybagging alone. Providers were scored on their ability to flex to this scale while maintaining service-level agreements. Compliance With Safety, Packaging, and Labeling Standards – Amazon's technical standards included detailed requirements for barcode placement, adhesive quality, adult-content concealment, and hazard labeling. Transparency in Rate Governance and SLAs – Amazon required clearly defined, tiered or flat rates for each prep type, with providers specifying how frequently rate cards may change and detailing average turnaround times between receiving inventory and delivering to FBA . Security, Certification, and Legal Compliance – Vendors were reviewed for their ability to comply with all federal, state, and local regulations governing packaging, shipping, and storage, as well as their use of secure IT infrastructure and adherence to data protection standards. Customer Service, Visibility, and Centralized Operations – The final selection emphasized the ability to provide centralized invoicing, account management, and full visibility into prep activity. This ensures alignment with Amazon's promise of speed, precision, and service excellence. "Amazon's evaluation wasn't surface-level—it was forensic. They asked us to align to over a billion units of forecasted volume, meet rigorous safety standards, and demonstrate national fulfillment at scale without compromise. They examined whether we could not only perform at scale, but do so with consistency, integrity, and accountability across every dimension of operations," said Tom Wicky, Co-Founder and CEO of MyFBAPrep. "We're incredibly proud to be selected and grateful to our network for rising to the challenge. Being selected from this field is a tremendous honor—and one that confirms our position as a foundational player in modern eCommerce logistics. This recognition is not just an award—it's a mandate to lead." Analytics suggest high prep demand from product categories including drugstores, beauty, grocery, home, and apparel. This selection cements MyFBAPrep's position as a critical infrastructure partner for sellers looking to scale within Amazon's ecosystem—providing the operational depth, compliance framework, and service flexibility needed to meet the demands of the modern digital shelf.

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN): Watch Out For AWS Cloud Performance, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), one of the world's largest eCommerce retailers, has recently started to become a regular feature on Cramer's morning show. The CNBC host recently interviewed the firm's CEO, Andy Jassy, and since then, he has discussed Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) on nearly every Squawk on the Street appearance. Cramer's latest remarks revolved around the firm's Prime Day and Morgan Stanley's pre-earnings coverage: 'I want to go away from Amazon Prime. A lot of people are saying it's good, a lot of bad. There was an excellent piece by Morgan Stanley, that it's not about Prime. It's not about retail. It's about Amazon Web Services, which you have long reminded me is really where the money is. What I thought that was interesting was, they're saying that Azure's got good numbers that could be harbinger for Amazon's numbers. But they said the latest CIO survey shows that Amazon is gaining over Microsoft, Google, and Oracle. And then they even say, now I don't know how important this really is, but non-Anthropic AWS growth speaks to the strength of the business. And Anthropic growth is going to be good. Now Anthropic, they're mistaken. But David, what they're really saying is that part that you really should be concerned about is not is not Prime. It's web services. And the web service could be better. And because of that, that you really are looking at lower estimates. And they could beat those estimates. . . .And I thought that was interesting because this is the one, that I think a lot of people say, you know what, Jassy hasn't done as well as the other guys. . .but I think Jassy's doing well and I think that web services is really doing well. A customer entering an internet retail store, illustrating the convenience of online shopping. Previously, Cramer discussed Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)'s shares and the Alexa assistant: 'Two things I want to emphasize. I don't believe in the death cross and the golden cross. They never made me any money. And I'm not going to buy, I wanna buy Amazon because I think that the, I check Prime every minute, and I'm seeing more and more deals. I mean people, if you don't check Prime every four hours, I don't know what your problem is. I mean you're not American. While we acknowledge the potential of AMZN as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
