Amazon Bike Messengers to Help Cut Home Delivery Time
Published at | Updated at
iStock Editorial/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Amazon wants to provide more convenience for online shoppers with its new plan to speed up home deliveries.
The online retailer is “practicing one-hour deliveries with bike messengers in New York City,” reports The Wall Street Journal.
Amazon, the country’s largest e-commerce company, is also experimenting with other options to ease the home delivery process like storage lockers at brick-and-mortar stores and drone use for small packages.
The company is facing opposition from the Federal Aviation Administration, which could bring the drone proposal to a stop.
