How Amazon Delivers On One-Day Shipping 

Amazon 15 Years from now: Me: Places an order Amazon: Check under your pillow. We knew you wanted it 3 days before you knew.

One day kids will think that the Amazon rain forest was named after the company.

That eyeroll the VP made when asked the safety question is very telling.

I loved how this turned from learning about the packaging and shipping towards worker safety and exploitation

Dam they really spent 9 billion because we cant wait 2 days

Screw 1 day delivery, when I click place an order the item should appear in my hand.

Neat. i always assumed they sacrificed an employee, to fuel a giant cannon they shot your package out of, strait to your door.

When everything is an emergency then nothing is an emergency, we don't need one day shipping

In 20+ years we will say: "When I was young we had to wait for DAYS to receive our package!"

Its so apparent that the senior vp has never worked in a warehouse. The way he dodged the question about work standards and productivity made me cringe.

That dude answering most of the questions has the face of someone who knows how to answer questions from the media in a disarming way.

This video went from “this is how they do one day shipping” to “Safety concerns with Amazon”

The lady: I love the robots 2 years later: Amazon buys more robots Jeff Bezos: You're all fired

The three things that cant't be explained; 1. Time travel 2. Bermunda Triangle and 3. RU-vids recommedation

I don't use Prime and I'm more than happy to pay extra for delivery as well as waiting a few extra days for my package to arrive as I care about the drivers safety and well being. Thank you to all the delivery drivers delivering throughout the pandemic.

Not sure how much this helps the drivers, but not only do I always take those Mini-surveys and leave 10/10 positive reviews, but I also try my absolute best to bundle all of my orders together so that they all arrive on the same day/time. I have a lot of respect for the drivers, and after seeing how much stress they are under while on the job? I'll always try to return the love and so I hope these small gestures can go a long way! :)

"We have great break rooms!" Shows huge, EMPTY break room. Point proven.

Imagine how many vibrators are seen by these people

Your business will make you rich but investment makes and you keep you wealthy, we all deserve to be successful and have financial freedom

Amazon in 2021: We deliver in only one day" Pizza Hut 1998: Hold my beer, we deliver in less than an hour or your pizza is free"😂

I think Amazon should give their flex driver a free shirt.

I love how the fun zone was empty

March 11, Saturday 2024 Placed first order today for next day delivery. This is next level customer service. What a time to be alive. Happy Mother’s Day.

Here in Ontario, Canada they list jobs as Seasonal and dependant on volume. Since they do that, it strips a lot of workers rights.

Next year: Jeff Bezos is going to clone himself so that he can "personally" delivery every Amazon package to your house.

One million hours of safety training basically means everyone watched a 3 minute safety video and was told to get back to work.

12:43 Insane how he dodged the question by saying they meet expectations (but not necessarily saying it is reasonable)

Don’t think that every Amazon warehouse has these high tech robots, I’ve worked in 2 Amazon’s in 2 states with zero robots helping out

No wonder Jeff Bezos is so filthy rich, it’s because I can’t wait two days to get an order. 😔

Kids now days won't know the struggle of waiting at the door for 5 to 7 BUSINESS days... as in not Saturday or Sunday

I just recently placed a order from Amazon at 10:00 am on a Thursday and received a photo text showing that the package was delivered 3-hours later at 1:00 pm . Amazing speed !

So if an individual has a medical condition, that going to the bathroom they'll get fired for affecting rates? Perhaps why there are more younger workers?

Prime has to start shipping with smaller boxes. I bought a battery the other day for my camera and it came in a box big enough to ship 100 batteries.

I like the way the story started out about one day shipping and ended up being about the negative work environment the workers face

An Amazon worker was killed by a package falling on them and Jeff Bezos didn’t even pay for his funeral...

I generally don't use Amazon. A lot of the stuff isn't even a good deal.

Amazon in 2030, free next day delivery from earth to Mars or your e-money back.

I love that the message overall seems to be “don’t worry about the poor treatment of workers, soon they’ll be replaced with robots”

One-Day shipping only if you live close enough to ship in one day.

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!

Year 2100 news : “ Amazon starts to teleport your package “

When I order a package at 11:59 PM: Amazon: uh oh

Wow, we are really spoiled. I ordered on line and they apologized for delivery running a few hours late. I didn't care. People pay a fortune, at times, for fast delivery, though the need is not there. I ordered from Wal-Mart once, and part of the order was hand delivered to my door 90 minutes later. That was freaky. Speed costs money, generally, and we waste a lot on air travel for things that aren't perishable or that urgent...

Shipping times may have shortened but for me at least, my merchandise options are being SEVERELY limited. Amazon is obviously limiting my options so they can achieve one-day delivery but I'd rather have more product choices.

Give them 5 years... it will be 90% robots working

That sneaky guy that has the power to just dodge every single question makes amazon seem sooo sketchy

10:31 "...drones that react to flailing hands and screaming voices." Ok, that made me laugh... just the totally nonchalant delivery by the voiceover. Both hilarious and slightly terrifying, welcome to the future!

Amazon is not forcing any one you work! If you want to work, work the way they want. Simple.

Prime Members: _"We want it fast, and we want it now"_ Normal Members: _"But at what cost?"_

“If it wasn’t for the robot, I would have to walk” 10 years later “If it wasn’t for the robot, I would have a job”

I used to buy almost anything and everything off Amazon because of how incredibly convenient the two-day shipping was, and how amazing the one-day shipping was for anything over $35. It seems that they’ve gotten rid of it, and their fastest shipping has been 4-5 business days for the last year. Common businesses are now the ones doing one-day deliveries and curbside pick up, so I don’t know how much longer Amazon will last.

i once ordered some fabric on amazon and since I'm a prime member I got the same day delivery option and I saw that the tracker said "your order has departed the facility in New York" and then 4 hours later i checked it again and it said "your order has arrived at a facility in Phoenix, AZ and is out for delivery"" and i got my order few minutes later.... like daaammm 😮😮

$18-25 an hour and you pay for your own expenses and you drive your own personal vehicle. Wow, your making less than minimum wage.

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."

It's crazy to think that sometimes when I order something, it comes from a completely different side of the country within like a day.

"making sure the customer's happy" he says that like every person on earth does not know that corporations do not give a flying F about the customer.

1:21 Is it just me or are those packages having more fun than I’ve had my entire life?

i honesly would sacrifice a day of a shipping so that workers don't have to be stressed as much

"Drones that can react to flailing hands and screaming voices" That isn't how you build a delivery drone, this is how you build a robotic overlord.

I worked in a warehouse once. order picking..I lasted a week.. the boss thought I was a robot. No joke..

"Are the working conditions reasonable?" Clarke: My job has expectations, your job has expectations." Yes, BUT are they reasonable??

I sincerely applaud the Amazon workers. I didn't even last one day there (I ended up getting a job somewhere else). Bravo to all of you!

I worked at a Prime Shipping warehouse years ago, you know how we got you your items in 1 day? 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. It was disgusting.

I have an Amazon fulfillment center directly across the street from where I work. I still remember seeing the same day delivery option for the first time on an order I placed. I was like... NO WAY. So I placed the order at 9:10 AM and my package arrival alert happened 4 hours later. It shipped from across the street.

UPS is planning to buy FEDEX as a defensive move against AMAZON shipping. Guess what the new name of the merged company?... FED-UP.

10:28 "Drones that can react to flailing hands and screaming voices". Never has a single sentence been more terrifying.

The single problem with all this stuff, is that its all based on consumer sales. America is no longer a manufacturing hub, its a consumer hub, but how long can people buy without good paying jobs? Eventually the fun will come to an end. Credit is great, but its also not real money. If people dont have jobs, and or jobs with good or better pay, then it wont be a soft landing, it will be a crash landing when the fuel runs out.

Who else is watching this while waiting for a package?

lol he said fully electric drones like there's a lot of drones that arent electric

Its not really 1 day shipping when the **USPS** driver purposely DOESNT STOP by your house and says _"Delivery Attempted."_ >:(

here in the Netherlands it is the (by most big companies) standard one day shipping without any additional cost (above a certain amount of price)

4:06 damn this guy is SUPER loaded on pharmaceutical speed. Edit; woah...... _everyone_ is on speed.

Damn he dodged that question really hard when he was asked if he thought the pace of work was reasonable lmao

I already see the RU-vid title in 10 years: Who will get to my house faster? The Pizza Guy or an Amazon delivery.

I’ve been driving for Amazon DSP for almost 2 months. My first week I worked 6 days and a National holiday. No overtime or holiday pay. Delivery drivers don’t get offered 401k/retirement and the medical benefits are the worst I’ve ever seen.

It’s so crazy….. they’re huge…. I always receive my packages earlier than expected.

No joke I once got a packaged delivered from amazon by I guy in u-Haul truck! 😂

Why did this get recommended to me when my package took a week to come in.

"Can anyone compete? Sure. But *can sustainably compete?*" That question is like saying "you can't do things like us because you can't". In a nice way

I pay for Prime specifically for the 2-day shipping. It's never happened. Just ordered a product for same day delivery, 4-11 PM, Friday. As soon as I paid the order, I checked "my orders" & it's immediately says Sunday. That's 2-day on a same day promise. BTW, live-in New Castle county, DE. Closest Amazon is 15 min away; they just opened 2 hugh facilities, each 15 min away in different directions. I bet it doesn't come Sunday. Also my grandson works for Amazon in S. CA, had a gift sent directly to him, had 3 shipping options, instead of 2-day, I chose the 17th so he wouldn't get it too early. Now I worry will he get it by Xmas?

"we have break rooms" not one person there

Me: Orders at exactly 11:59:59 Amazon Prime: *Sweats Intensely, Internal cries.* Me: **Evil laughter: MWHAHAHA** ˙ ͜ʟ˙ I feel evil.

They get your stuff from a store in your city and they bring to your house. We had this tech in 1850.

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.

Interviewer: “Are workers expected to work at an unreasonable pace?” Amazon: “Weell...”

You do not become the richest man in the world by being a compassionate, caring, grateful, and sharing person......

3:50 That’s all i needed to know, Thanks!!!

bro I had 185 stops and was vomiting blood and called dispatch, 3rd story atps all day in 100 degree heat and still had keep going. Its almost like a cult because I care for my fellow DA's. If you get stuff delivered from amazon, please leave a cold bottle of water or snack. Peace and God Bless.

Imagine showing this video to someone in the 80s

I live about 10 mins from an amazon fulfilment centre, the delivery time is insane!

I work as a deliver driver for a amazon. The last couple of month the daily stopps went up by 50-60 stopps. That doesnt sound like much but tose 150-200+ stops a day are hell. You work about 10 hours a day. Recently, like a week ago, Amaazon send out a memo which said they will reduce the daily stops. They reduced the stops on one day. AFterwards it went back.

It's always nice when other companies beat amazons time. I have ordered many items from other tech sites on 3-5 day shipping only to be surprised when it came the next day. Microsoft is a good example of this. I don't now the reason but since amazon all deliveries on all sites seem to be quicker. well except from china via Bang Good as that takes 2 weeks - 4 months.

This is scary for all those working in retail and similar jobs that require no actual skill. 30% of the people today will be doomed in a decade when technology replaces their work. On the other hand it’s an incentive to master valuable skills that can’t be replaced w tech

i'm sorry but Jeff Bezos kinda looks like lex luthor

I always watch this video when I'm waiting for a package

Honestly we need to be grateful for even having clean water in our sink and not be too upset when our Amazon package doesn’t come in one single day like dude let’s have gratitude here and not be greedy.

Watch, in 10 years “20 min delivery is the norm”

I love how when I order something it says "One Day Delivery" and then that one day passes and I check delivery status "There has been an unexpected delay. We will get your package to you as soon as possible" message shows up and it arrives two or three days later. Yeah great one day delivery. I can't remember the last time I actually got something in one day as promised on the site. I don't mind waiting at all, two day delivery was more than fine really. But they are advertising something that they don't really meet most of the time. Seems like false advertising is all.Ever since they have been cutting out UPS and the Post Office their delivery has gotten worse, not better.

Have a break room: no one in there!!! Meaning not enough time to sit!

Phone call: " Your item was 3D printed at the front of your door 3 seconds ago!! BIP!!"
