Amazon has figured out a way to bring packages from the shopping mall to your doorstep

The e-commerce giant is eliminating the process of finding a car park in a busy mall when you need to purchase something last minute.

In a similar method to Uber Eats, drivers will pick up and deliver packages from shops directly

Amazon is currently piloting the program with contracted “Flex drivers”

The program, which Bloomberg says Amazon has been running since last year, could help Amazon fulfil orders for same-day deliveries

Amazon’s Flex drivers use their own vehicles to deliver goods, heading to stores within local shopping centres to collect packages.

Right now drivers are picking up packages from malls located in the U.S. like in Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Virginia.

Depending on the success pilot program, customers can expect the service in more places soon.

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.

Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
