The item will be pulled from the nearest point where it is warehoused (or given to the carrier by the seller if it is not something warehoused by amazon.) If it is warehoused in a fulfillment center, it will be packaged up by associates there and processed into a truck where it will go to either a sortation center then delivery center or directly to a delivery center or carrier. If it goes to a carrier it gets delivered by them. Who the fuck knows how that works. If it goes to a Delivery Center, it will be inducted, sortated via the conveyor at the DC, stowed into a tote or overflow stack by a stower at the end of the conveyor, then be picked to a cart and the cart staged in a staging location. The driver will get the carts with their totes and overflow from the staging location to their van where they load everything into their van. They drive out to their route area and eventually should drop the package on your porch. Answer from victorkm on reddit.com

r/AmazonDSPDrivers on Reddit: How Does Amazon's Shipping Process Go?
March 11, 2024 -
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows the process how things go once I place my order.
I assume someone in a warehouse packages the order, and then someone else puts it in the carrier, and lastly someone delivers it. Is that about right, or are there a bunch of other steps along the way?

How does Amazon manage to do same day delivery (or even next day delivery)? Does the delivery driver purchase the item at a local store, package it, and deliver it? - Quora
Answer (1 of 6): With next day deliveries, the bits are packaged, and the package is taken overnight from a warehouse to a local depot, where the delivery men pick up a large number of parcels, then deliver them in optimum order to minimise driving.

r/amazonprime on Reddit: So how DOES Amazon Prime Shipping work?
March 5, 2025 -
Thought we might collect up some insights into how AMZN does this…
We all know that Amazon Prime is supposed to come with ‘one to two day shipping speed, after it ships’. Seems pretty clear….. takes a bit for them to find the item, they put it in a box and ship it a while later- takes one or two days on the road.
And we know that 98% of the time that is NOT how it works…
Sure, on occasion, I will get a UPS ‘next day saver’ shipment from across the USA. Or I will see an Amazon tracking data that shows it is shipping via air from across the country…
But MOST of the time, their algorithm is doing one of three things:
-
Item is in a local distribution hub- item ships in one day, order by midnight, they transfer it to the local logistics hub at 3AM, and by 1030 it is out for delivery.
-
Item is in a SEMI local hub- they truck it to the local hub, then it goes out the next day. Here in two days.
-
Item is far away- it is then shipped via ground transport as a bulk package (no tracking) to my local hub. It shows as not shipped, the order is just sitting- when in actual fact it WAS shipped but takes a week across the USA. Then, after a week, it magically ‘shipped’ and shows up next day.
It is my belief that amazon ‘covers up’ when items really ship… there are two time components to order fulfillment: getting it into a box and out the door AND then the actual shipment. The ‘trick’ of prime is ‘stealing’ a few days from the order processing component and using that for transporting the package- but not letting customers know, so they get their ‘two day shipping speed’
Oh, one marvel: As you are BROWSING- not once you put it in a cart, and not after you pay…but just as you are browsing, the algorithm knows all this an can know how and when they will get that item to you.
Anyway, they can still suck- but insights into how that fulfil orders can explain what we see on our ends…..

>And we know that 98% of the time that is NOT how it works… Just a bit of hyperbole eh? I have had maybe a handful of packages "late" and I have been with Amazon since it just sold books. Your location has a lot to do with it. Maybe 1 of 50 packages come with anything other than Amazon trucks in the last 3-4 years and I get a lot and even with the rare UPS or USPS package they arrive on time. I get around 10-15 packages a week on average. There are those with lots of problems and those with no problems.

My state has a lot of trucks and distribution centers. I sometimes doubt the 2 day (and I've gotten one day also this past year) because it wont say shipped until the same day it's delivered. I assume it's what you order and where it comes from. I don't do 3rd party or odd things that don't have 2 day shipping. Maybe 2 times out of 50, something will be late.

July 24, 2024 - Next an employee loads it on a truck and a driver takes it to an Amazon air site. It boards a plane and readies for take off.
