The retail giant is prioritizing customer trust and fast delivery to maintain its edge, particularly by expanding same-day delivery options and emphasizing reliability and speed in promotions, the sources reportedly told WSJ.

Amazon ( AMZN ) executives reportedly closely monitored Temu's Super Bowl ads campaign, the sources added.

Amazon's ( AMZN ) competitive advantage is its fast package delivery across various product categories, an Amazon ( AMZN ) spokesperson reportedly told WSJ, adding that this service remains a top priority for the company.

Amazon ( AMZN ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
