Amazon reportedly is developing a mobile app that will be the cornerstone of an Uber-type service for neighborhood package delivery. Under the scheme, the app would allow Amazon to compensate people to deliver packages in lieu of using a commercial carrier. People would pick up packages at brick-and-mortar stores, where Amazon would rent space or pay a per package fee, and make deliveries on their way to another destination, according to the report. There was no indication of when the service might launch — if ever.
