Announcement reposted from Amazon United States:
To help you offer even faster delivery speeds to customers in small towns across the United States, we’re investing over $4 billion by 2026 to expand our rural delivery network.
At a time where many logistics providers are backing away from serving rural customers because of cost to serve, we’re stepping up. We’ll grow our rural delivery network’s footprint to over 200 delivery stations, allowing us to deliver over a billion more packages each year.
This investment will not only make it easier for millions of customers - from Milton, Florida to North Pole, Alaska - to get what they need, when they need it, but we estimate it will create over 100,000 new jobs and driving opportunities.
