Government officials and industry sources claim that Amazon has committed to sending more than 350 containers' worth of merchandise to India via the Chinese and Indian postal networks.The ships would deliver everything from raw materials to consumer goods like electronics and cell phones. The move is anticipated to heighten concerns in certain American communities that the Seattle-based company is building a logistical network to get access to the quickly growing Indian market and outcompete local delivery providers.

A Reuters article published on Sunday said that Amazon sought to lease several shipping containers for the delivery of its products.
