Amazon is changing its deliveries behind the scenes to cut shipping times | CNN Business

They are far behind according to my order LTC Eugene Chu I expect pretty soon they will say of you want it, come to the warehouse and pick it up yourself.

..."Amazon has “convinced themselves people want one-day delivery,” Michael Pachter, a retail analyst at Wedbush Securities, said in an email to CNN. “I needed Gorgonzola cheese for a recipe Saturday, [so I] actually went to the store. I don’t need same day or next day delivery for most things,” he wrote.

The more immediate benefit for Amazon may be cutting costs.

After expanding rapidly during the pandemic, the e-commerce giant cut some 27,000 jobs as part of a significant bid to rein in costs in recent months. Amazon also began charging some customers a $1 fee if they return items to a UPS store when there is a Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh grocery store or Kohl’s closer to their delivery address. (Amazon owns Whole Foods and Fresh, and has a partnership deal with Kohl’s.)

Amazon also recently started adding a “frequently returned” badge on certain products on its website for customers."
