How Amazon Delivers On One-Day Shipping

Prime Day, Amazon's biggest shopping event, is here, and now one-day shipping is the norm for tens of millions of items available during Amazon's Prime Day event, which runs from July 15 to July 16. To succeed at this rapid delivery, Amazon spends tens of billions of dollars every year and employs 250,000 workers in its U.S. warehouses. The process is an incredible challenge, and Amazon has faced criticism about working conditions at every step of the process. Watch the video to see what happens when you buy a Prime-eligible item on Amazon.com.

What Gene Rodenberry didn't tell us is that every time you order a cup of tea from a replicator, Amazon automatically charges your credit card for it. Luckily, the returns have been improved as well, so that when you put the empty cup back into the replicator to be disintegrated, you get your cup deposit back. The Enterprise cleaning crew probably makes a few extra cents a day picking up coffee cups that have been forgotten on tables and sticking them back into the replicator for the deposit.

What is that?

[@SurprisinglyDeep]

I think they still will. Young people might get many things delivered (like my roommate gets most of her monthly groceries delivered from the local Save On Food grocery store) but most people won't buy everything from Amazon or thru delivery companies. I think even in the future most people will still mostly just walk/bike/drive to a store like normal people to save money buying groceries in bulk and/or to get some fresh air and hang out with friends and family. Like a Best Buy near the city I live in in Vancouver, Canada is now less than half the size of the old one. Its a nice place to window shop thru and to occasionally buy stuff while you hang out with friends. Or those young people won't shell out for Prime. I'm perfectly content to wait between 2 days to a week to get an item. I rarely buy things. Usually its just esoteric things like a cell phone power cord or an HDMI cable. Or expensive purchases like a new cellphone. In those cases if I want something delivered faster I'll just pay $5 more for faster delivery for that one item. I suspect many people are similar.

I dont live in a big city so I'm used to getting my packages in a few days to a week. However, the last order I placed was mailed in several different packages and took from 3 days to a week & a half. I've noticed for me, that the ones they ship through the Post Office are usually the ones that take the longest to arrive. I had 2 different packages from that last order go through the P.O. One pkg took a week & a half & went from a suburb of Mpls., up to my town, transferred to another carrier and then shipped back down to a different suburb of Mpls. Called to talk to someone (Took forever to finally get ahold of a live person!) and was finally told it was mistakenly marked as being in my town but it actually was not. (Never got an explanation where it really was.) Then, the second pkg was finally shipped and again came up to my town and again, transferred to another carrier and shipped off to a different area north of me. (Do you think it was a mistake again?) That pkg took about a week to get to me. I don't know if they're out to get me or if someone at the Post Office here is an idiot. Whatever, it's almost impossible to complain about them through Amazon. They are distancing themselves farther & farther away from their customers!

[@aleksseb5504]

Same problem at USPS. I work there currently as a clerk. 1) Safety, Safety, Safety First! 2) When you follow their safety rules they bring you in the office to find out why you're so damn slow and can't behave like a robot. 1) "Take your breaks, you gotta take your breaks." 2) Back in the office, "Why aren't you making the numbers? You do know we can let you go!" 1) Watch these lengthy safety videos. Safety signs all over the building. Safety Proud!!! :) 2) Back in the office, why aren't you a damn machine?? So you ignore their safety rules just to make the magic numbers they pulled out of their ass, and now they are happy, "You're doing better now." :) You meet your 1,000,000 hours of safety training, designed the place to be safer, posted plenty of safety posters, and drilled it deep that you must be safe. But you want us to keep the pace of a machine. Take your proper breaks, go to the restroom when you need to. Slow down when you're out of breath, do exactly according to safety rules, and the result is "Why aren't you making numbers? If you don't meet the numbers, you will be fired." The result: Ignoring safety rules, running instead of walking, out of breath and still working, stressed the hell out, but I'm behind and need to meet the standards. Day after day you meet their numbers and the expectation stays because "See, it can be done."

We would open a full truck of boxes and Instead of grabbing each box individually and putting it on the conveyor carefully we would topple the stack over so it crashed onto the conveyor and then we just grab the ones on the ground and toss them on too. The supervisors did not care and neither did we since the only punishment we would receive was for not being fast enough. yes there graphics cards and motherboards that would just be tossed across the room in order to get it to you on time.

[@cityup8825]

Working in an Amazon warehouse can be tough. The job often involves picking heavy items for 12 hours a day, with a target of at least 300 items per hour. If you don't meet this target, you'll be asked to work even harder. You don't even have the luxury of taking a bathroom break, as you'll be closely monitored and risk losing your job if you take too long. However, once you start working there and get used to the routine, it's hard to quit. Many of the workers are between 17-25 years old OR 39 and above .that they have responsibilities like paying for their house, car, and other bills. So, it's important to have a plan and not waste your time if you're thinking about working there. I started working there when I was 20 years old, and now I'm 23, and still working there.

I am part that supply chain that delivers boxes to Amazon. The plant makes the boxes, our trucking company is contracted out with the boxes on the trailers to put it to a third party site to keep it at their docks. They unload the trailer and keep the boxes until Amazon makes an order in which the third party site loads the trailer with the specific boxes they want. We then take the trailer and drop it off at Amazon with the paperwork. It depends on what Amazon wants. They could want 3 trailers a day and in peak season meaning November and December they would want 6 to 8 a day. Whatever we drop that trailer all I know is their yard driver will take the trailer put it in a dock and then the fork lift driver will unload it. What happens after that I do not know nor do I care.
