Wouldn't amazon just use the Swedish post office like they use the USPS in the US?

At least where I live in the US, Amazon same and next day deliveries are usually through their in-house logistics service

Amazon Germany delivers with DPD (for 1-2 day delivery) or Hermes (for 1-∞ days delivery)

Sure, where available, but if the Swedish postal service already offers 1 day delivery, it's not a competitive advantage to Swedish companies, assuming Amazon isn't barred from using it too.

The swedish postal service is not known to be reliable, and is often joked about here in Sweden.

As an American who has come here, I gained an all new appreciation for USPS after dealing with PostNord. They really are infuriatingly bad sometimes.
