Amazon deliveries slip, take longer after Cyber Monday heading to holidays
MarketWatch senior reporter Jon Swartz discusses the safety scrutiny tech companies face as they move rapidly into new services.
LOS ANGELES --Amazon van drivers’ on-time delivery rate fell to 93.7 percent for the Cyber Monday week from 98.2 percent during the Thanksgiving week, consulting firm ShipMatrix said on Wednesday.
DOES AMAZON HAVE A CASE WHEN ACCUSING TRUMP OF POLITICAL BIAS?
Amazon did not immediately comment on the holiday performance of the van delivery drivers, who exclusively deliver merchandise from the e-commerce giant to customer homes. Data for United Parcel Service Inc, FedEx Corp and the U.S. Postal Service was not immediately available.
“Since Amazon is a retailer, fulfillment company and delivery carrier (all-in-one), its customers could have experienced greater delays but those delays could be resulting from delays in the fulfillment of the order,” ShipMatrix President Satish Jindel said.
