Your next Amazon delivery might come via a local florist or coffee shop as the onlineshopping giant looks at new ways to boost its last-mile delivery service.
Always looking for ways to boost elements of its gargantuan delivery network, Amazon is now actively recruiting small businesses in the U.S. that can assist it with its last-mile delivery efforts, Axios reported on Monday.
Recommended Videos It involves partnering with small businesses such as florists, coffee shops, and clothing stores, with no delivery experience required and no long-term contracts to sign. However, one of the conditions for taking part is that the premises must have a secure area for storing the parcels.
Amazon hasn’t revealed how much it’s paying the part-time delivery workers, but based on earnings of $27,000 a year, the rate would work out at around $2.50 per package
