it's turned to some of the other business headlines we're
watching for you this morning amazon now testing a program
that would contract flex drivers all to pick up and deliver packages
from malls Bloomberg reporting that amazon has been
experimenting with the program since last year and
it could ultimately help amazon compete and do
orders for same day or two day deliveries.
Now,
it's not clear yet which sellers are on board with
this program or where amazon is running any of these tests
though,
some drivers have said that they've picked
up from malls in Arizona Virginia and Vegas
amazon's flex drivers work similarly to Instacart and doordash
drivers who use their own vehicles for these deliveries.
The program will allow amazon drivers to
head to malls instead of delivery stations,
which on paper makes deliveries even more convenient for the consumer.
