Is Amazon delivering in your area yet? If so, has your volume dropped at the hub?

[QUOTE="WTFm8, post: 3792096, member: 73537"] Amazon has been trucking their smalls between warehouses to reduce shipping costs since 2011, they call it TransArc. I worked for them Sept 2010-April 2012 and got to see it implemented. They pick the ordered smalls into totes then paletize them and load them into trailers to ship to their other warehouses. Unload and recievers scan them into temporary small sort aisles to be immediately ‘picked’ within hours by outbound to be shipped in traditional ways (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc). They also had ArcAngle where they’d do basically the same thing for air packages across the country, they started that like 3-4 years ago. [/QUOTE]
