European delivery services such as Royal Mail, Holland’s Uber, and Deutsche Post, already facing a threat from Amazon, could now face yet more competition from PostNL if it moves into European deliveries, as it has done in some US cities. PostNL has claimed to have no "current" plans for a European launch of its PostNLRUSH service, which uses PostNL drivers as delivery personnel, however analysts are saying that it is only a matter of time. Royal Mail have already admitted that an Amazon delivery service could more than halve growth potential for its parcel business, so further threat from PostNL could be serious, although the British delivery service has claimed that new entrants add options for consumers, and Uber said it welcomed competition.
