Yeah here in Philly we not only have Flex drivers but Amazon has its own branded delivery service
But the packages are generally delivered to the warehouses by the big services
..True. Every time I order something and use my mothers address, some nikka in his personal car pull up and drop it off.
man, Amazon about to screw over UPS & Fedex.
it's gonna take a lot of elbow grease...those companies have been in the logistics business for decades or over a century. both those firms have trained staff with years of experience and customer contact. you won't get that level of employee/customer satisfaction long term without adequate benefits and retirement plans. people don't want to see a different, strange delivery driver every time they order something. there's a recent thread on the coli about amazon jerking their drivers and not being loyal with work hours. there's an old thread by yomoms about the warehouses being sweat/shop-salt mines. high turnover gets old fast!
plus they are leasing planes and pilots while those two aforementioned giants have their own crews and planes.
Amazon unveils cargo plane as it expands delivery network

Seattle-based Amazon is unveiling its first branded cargo plane, one of 40 jetliners that will make up the e-commerce giant’s own air transportation network as it takes more control of its delivery process.
The latest push to speed delivery of its products comes as the company ships an increasing number of packages worldwide. Amazon’s parcel volume was an estimated 1 billion packages in 2015 — the same number that FedEx delivered three years earlier for hundreds of thousands of customers.
Amazon Cargo Plane for Bigger Delivery Network
Amazon has had issues with the reliability of air freight services. In 2013, it offered refunds to customers who got their Christmas orders late after bad weather and a jump in online shopping caused delays for UPS and FedEx.
Analysts say it makes sense for Amazon to use an air fleet it controls as another way to get its products to online shoppers drawn to fast, no-extra-cost delivery.
“They’re such a big online retailer,” said Satish Jindel, president of shipping consultant ShipMatrix. “There’s so much volume that if you have to add transportation for yourself, why would you pay a retail price when you can get wholesale? It makes sense.”
On Friday afternoon, the company’s first branded “Prime Air” cargo plane, designated Amazon One, was to buzz over Seattle’s Lake Washington, just before the Navy’s Blue Angels took to the skies.
Amazon leased 40 Boeing jets from Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings and Air Transport Services Group Inc., which will operate the air cargo network. Eleven of the planes already are delivering packages for Amazon’s annual Prime loyalty program, which offers free two-day shipping and other perks. The remaining freighters will be rolled out in the next couple of years.
Aircraft like Amazon One allow the company to “continue to maintain our fast delivery speeds and lower our costs as our Prime base and our Prime member growth continue to soar,” said Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations.
Despite its growing fleet of aircraft, Amazon said it plans to continue to use FedEx, UPS and other transportation partners.
“Because of our growth and the sheer amount of packages, we are supplementing our transportation needs,” Clark said.
The company has been furiously building out distribution centers, where workers and robots pull products off shelves and package them for delivery, as well as smaller sorting plants, which arrange packages by ZIP code for faster delivery. It has a network of more than 125 fulfillment centers worldwide.
Amazon recently reported a second-quarter profit of $857 million on $30 billion in revenue.
The company doesn’t yet have plans to carry packages for others but says it’s constantly evaluating its situation. Amazon has not been shy about competing in businesses areas far-flung from its e-commerce roots.
“Once you have those planes, it certainly creates the opportunity for new products for customers,” Clark said, adding: “Stay tuned and we’ll see what happens in the future.”

Amazon supposedly pays for college and the experience isnt bad at all to have. I don't know where y'all live at where jobs are plentiful for the relatively unskilled but this is a good job for those who would be workin at fast food otherwise especially for the holiday season
