Amazon to open NY delivery stations
BY AMAZON LOGISTICS
Amazon Logistics has
signed various leases in an
effort to open three delivery
stations in New York in the
fi rst half of 2021. Delivery
stations power the last mile
of our order fulfi llment process.
Packages are transported
to delivery stations
from Amazon fulfi llment
centers, are sorted, and
then loaded into vehicles
for delivery to customers.
Amazon is a great place to
work with highly competitive
pay, benefi ts from Day-
One, and training programs
for in-demand jobs. Collectively,
the stations will create
thousands of full time
and part time jobs, paying a
minimum of $15 per hour.
Amazon prioritizes the
safety and health of its employees
and has invested
millions of dollars to provide
a safe workplace. Every
day at Amazon, incredible
employees come together to
deliver magical experiences
for customers.
Amazon has more than
150 delivery stations in the
U.S., offering entrepreneurs
the opportunity to build
their own business delivering
Amazon packages, as
well as independent contractors
the fl exibility to be their
own boss and create their
own schedule delivering
for Amazon Flex. To learn

Amazon has long provided

such as televisions to
couches, and we’re excited

offering to customers by
opening an AMXL delivery
station in Westchester
County.

fi nancial support for their
families during this time,”
