Amazon's ambition to build a global shipping and logistics business seems to be much bigger than what most people thought, according to leaked documents discovered by Bloomberg's Spencer Soper.

On Tuesday, Bloomberg unearthed internal documents from 2013 that laid out Amazon's plan to build up a global delivery network that would compete directly with companies like FedEx and UPS.

The project, internally called Dragon Boat, is intended to launch a new business called "Global Supply Chain by Amazon," as soon as this year, the report said.
