Amazon Surpasses Logistics Milestones Amid Delivery Speed Improvements

Amazon has made significant strides in its delivery speed and logistics operations during the second quarter. The company delivered more than 40% of items same day or overnight, a notable improvement from the same period last year.

Amazon's ultra-fast delivery service, Amazon Now, has also seen substantial growth, with over 80% increase in gross sales and units sold quarter-over-quarter. The service is now available in nine countries and over 250 cities and towns across the globe.

As part of its efforts to optimize inventory and reduce costs, Amazon is expanding its deployment of robotics and automation. The company has recently surpassed one million robots developed, produced, and deployed across its operations network.
