- Dave Clark, 20+ year Amazon vet joins as CEO of Flexport
- Amazon works out a deal with Shopify to partner on logistics, on the condition that Shopify exits logistics, i.e. sells Deliverr, a notoriously overpriced acquisition and unprofitable division
- Dave buys Deliverr from Shopify, installs bureaucracyOS at Flexport
- Dave leaves Flexport, same day Amazon announces its deal with Shopify
Amazon removes Shopify as a fulfillment competitor and severely hobbles Flexport
