The trick with the capital requirements is Amazon is totally willing to contract out to small regional conpanies; so you can have big plans, but start small and grow, if it works out. There's room outside of Amazon delivery too.

Name a regional last mile delivery firm with the quality of UPS, FedEx, or USPS.

FedEx full timers. Their subcontractors are terrible.

I haven’t had bad luck with Ground or Home Delivery, but I could see there’s variability based on location.
