Amazon’s same-day delivery site in Richardson processes about 30,000 packages daily as holiday shoppers turn to the e-commerce giant for last-minute Christmas gifts.
With Christmas days away, Amazon’s delivery site in Richardson – one of three in North Texas – must run at maximum efficiency to ensure customers’ packages arrive on time. To do this, Amazon uses sophisticated algorithms and state-of-the-art technology to manage the process from start to finish.
Of these same-day facilities in North Texas, it takes “11 minutes” for a product at the Richardson location to get picked, packaged, and moved out for delivery, according to Amazon site leader Brian Mangano, per Fox 4 KDFW.
This is roughly an hour shorter processing time than at a typical fulfillment center, Mangano added. Mangano explained that “a lot of algorithms” have to be implemented into the process to make everything run smoothly.
“Over the past 20 years, Amazon has created an algorithm that helps with efficiency, the safety of our associates, and helps us deliver to our customers even faster,” said Mangano.
As shoppers put in their last-minute orders, Mangano told FOX 4 employees at his site are processing some “30,000 packages” for same-day delivery.
Despite the number of daily orders, Mangano wants Amazon shoppers to know they still have time to place select same-day orders before Christmas. He urges customers to pay careful attention to the delivery option during checkout.
“Before you make that selection, you have to make sure that it’s in our inventory and available for same-day delivery as well,” Mangano said.
With three same-day delivery sites in North Texas, there is a good chance that one of these regional facilities will deliver your Christmas gifts this year.
