It is crazy, we remember Amazon back when the business first started as a small online book retailer, but it not ships anything to everything and is one of the leading online retail businesses in the world. How did the become so successful? What separates them from other online retailers? One big push this business has made in their time is the quickness of their deliveries. They know customers today want their orders delivered as quick as possible and Amazon prides themselves on their innovation and success in this category. Ever since the installment of Amazon Prime membership in 2005 which includes free 2-day shipping on certain items they have been non-stop ever since. Also their introduction of drone delivery systems and automated warehouse show their strides into the future and into more advanced and quicker ways to get their good into the customers hand as quick as possible. Amazon has so many orders to fulfill, they try to have their own delivery services take orders which cuts cost from outsourcing to third party services, but there has been such an increase in orders I'm pretty sure they have been using other services like FedEx, UPS, and the USPS have been taking Amazon deliveries. This is causing stress in these companies because they are not used to the 1 and 2 day delivery requirements like Amazon promises. I know this because my grandma works for the United States Postal Service and she has said there has been a big number of Amazon shipments and orders to fulfill.
