FedEx last week announced that it had agreed to acquire ShopRunner, the Prime-like subscription service that offers two-day delivery from more than 100 retailers. The service is seen as an alternative that may be able to combat Amazon’s growing market share and its third-party fulfillment ambitions.
ShopRunner’s $79 yearly membership also includes free returns, member discounts and seamless checkout. Merchants in the program include American Eagle Outfitters, Saks and Under Armour.
