Amazon Transportation Services – Explained

Amazon is the biggest ecommerce platform in India, providing services like online shopping, advertising, digital marketing and much more. The biggest online retail shop began its journey in a garage by Jeff Bezos in 1994. Amazon had used thirty-party logistics for its delivery, but now it has entered into transportation services to handle its delivery worldwide.

Amazon transportation services (ATS), all began in the year, 2012. It has a global employer of around ten thousand, and in India, there are around five thousand. The headquarters is in Seattle, Washington, United States of America (USA). The shipping and logistics is a private sector, and it is a foreign MNC.

What is Amazon Transportation Service?

Amazon’s new venture into transportation has introduced heavy-load trucks and vans specifically for their company alone. These vehicles bear the logo of Amazon and will deliver the products from one location to another.

The company sends its products through Amazon cargo, and they will be then distributed in small vans and trucks. This will shut down third-party logistics like FedEx, and UPS works and the company will have control over delivering the products.

How does Amazon Transportation Service work?

With the increase in the business sector, the company has planned to set its venture into these services to take care of deliveries. It is a simple task of ordering the products from the Amazon website or in its application available on Android or iOS. The product after placing the order gets into the shipment process. First, the product is shipped to the major metro city hubs, then it is shipped to various offices around the metro cities. After that, the delivery partners are assigned according to the area. They pick up your product and deliver it to your home.
