Amazon is testing a service that uses the company’s sprawling network of gig drivers to fetch packages from mall-based retailers and deliver them to customers.
The programme, should it become a permanent part of the e-commerce company's delivery options, could help Amazon expand the variety of goods it has available for fast shipment.
Shoppers who want same-day or quicker shipping could be shown products stocked by a local mall store. They order the item from the retailer on Amazon.com and one of the Seattle-based company’s contract drivers delivers it.
The service was up and running by last year and relies on Amazon Flex drivers, who use their own vehicles to deliver packages.
The geographic range of the pilot is unclear, but communications with drivers reviewed by Bloomberg reference malls with participating retailers in Chandler, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Tysons Corner, Virginia.
