NEW YORK (Reuters) - Whether Amazon.com can cash in on its delivery heft by boosting fee revenue from its "Buy With Prime" service after a 2022 overhaul of its logistics network will be a big focus for investors when the e-commerce giant reports fourth-quarter results on Thursday.

Amazon's 200 million Prime members pay $14.99 per month or $139 annually for free shipping in a day or two, and with Buy With Prime, launched in April 2022, merchants can extend the shipping offer to those Prime customers.
