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.

Despite challenges, advocates urge a shift from despair to possibility, emphasizing personal agency and proactive pursuit of homeownership goals. Thus, while acknowledging the hurdles, reframing the discourse empowers individuals to navigate the housing market with resilience and determination, making the dream of owning a home a tangible reality for those willing to seize it. #Trending #Featured
