We’re delivering for Prime members at our fastest speeds ever
Amazon hit its fastest Prime delivery speeds ever so far this year in the USA and around the world, with more than 5 billion items arriving the same or next day globally. This is an increase of more than 30% year over year.
Our accelerating delivery speeds are helping both Prime members and sellers, with the majority of these five billion items delivered on behalf of sellers who usedFulfillment by Amazon.
We achieved faster speeds by focusing on three key initiatives:
- Expanding our Same-Day Delivery network so we can get products to customers even quicker, with Same-Day Delivery in more than 120 USA metro areas.
- Shortening the distance our deliveries have to travel to reach customers by regionalizing our fulfillment network.
- Leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms to predict product demand and improve our inventory placement.
We’ve been able to deliver our vast selection of products at even faster speeds while continuing to improve safety. This was possible because our employees and delivery partners who are picking, packing, and driving to customers’ houses are doing the exact same thing whether an order arrives the same day, next day, or in two days. The speed improvements come primarily from regionalizing our network and placing products closer to customers.

But no credit goes to us sellers that pay for this.
No mention of the placement fees along with the increase of shipping fees that are killing us all. All credit goes to Amazon "This was possible because our employees and delivery partners who are picking, packing, and driving to customers’ houses" yet running us out of business. I sold 1.1 million in total, but yet I am broke. My truck is 20 years old and no closer now getting a new one, than I was before when I started in 2018. But yet, still have to pay the increase of amazon fees every year or I will be homeless next.
Why no mention of the low inventory fees?
Why no mention on the amount of people that stopped or lower the amount they use FBA. It has to hurt as we see FBA being promoted more. Then came up with on time delivery rules to try and punish the sellers, so they can get back to using FBA. All this opened my eyes and many others and are making changes.

Puh-lease. I bet your OTDR for Prime would be low enough to get you kicked off your own platform if you weren't blatantly violating anti-trust law and having different rules for the platform and its customers (yes, we pay you for a service, that makes us customers, no matter how much legal pretzel logic you apply). And we aren't charging customers an annual fee to break our delivery promises.
Similarly, I don't think you're allowed to call them "delivery partners" any more. Wasn't there just a ruling stating that since you tell them when, where and how to work -- subjecting them to unsafe quotas leading to injuries and death after conning them into taking on debt under different terms -- drivers are employees?
If you're increasing speed by putting products closer to customers, that means you're servicing a higher percentage of urban customers, to whom quick delivery is a no-brainer. It's the small-ish percentage of rural customers that make OTDR impossible (especially once YOU are determining transit and handling times); too bad you left this detail out of your PR. On time % and average time can move in opposite directions in this scenario, and that's also what we'll see for with the new mandatory automation: as our average time improves, you'll move the bar, lowering on-time %age.
Feel free to tell us whether ignoring the math was intentional obfuscation or ignorance. I'm leaning towards evil over stupid, but I'm willing to be surprised.

You forgot to list the initiative:
- Charging placement fees so sellers have to foot the bill of distributing their products between fulfillment centers.

However, Prime shipments from Amazon only come one of two days at our home whether I order on Monday or Friday. Delivery is Saturday and Sunday or Monday if the Sunday carrier is overloaded (which often can be the case). If I order from a 3rd party Prime person, I'm guaranteed to get the item quicker than through housed at Amazon. FBM is by far the better option if I need something quicker as a buyer than waiting on Amazon.

From personal recent experience, this is an absolute lie. Prime is worse than ever.
I had to fight to get reimbursement last month for a prime delivery that was sent to the post office instead of my doorstep and it took over a month to get the reimbursement. The Post Office sent it back to Amazon but even then, I had a hard time getting the option for a rep.
All my prime orders all summer (and all year) were late or unavailable for the 2 day promise for prime. Many prime items show with a 3-7 week delay as well. Who is tallying these stats?
If our metrics were like this, we would be in the red all the time.
What's that saying about the goose and the gander and the book that was written about lying with stats?

This article was meant for the joke thread and misfiled as news. At least someone is having fun writing up these jokes.
As both a seller and Prime customer, I can safely respond:

How is Amz going to fair when they want to emulate TeMu and make folks wait 10dyas+ for their products direct from China?
Seller_uJo8XNzWYLBfo
Is this a direct result of the fee implemented by Amazon that we now pay when shipping product into FBA?
I have actually thought things were talking longer to receive on the buyer end. I have noticed items taking longer to ship out from the warehouses than in the past.
