Delivering almost any package to my house in two days at scale seems a lot harder than making chips at scale and they did that already.

Unfortunately I think making cutting edge chips is harder these days. Just going on cost, the most expensive Amazon fulfillment center comes in at $200 million, the most expensive fab is $14 billion, from Samsung, with word of a $20 billion fab coming from TSMC.
