Amazon is urging shoppers to click & collect their online orders from its physical stores as it tries to ease the pressure on its delivery operations this Christmas period.
In signs the ecommerce giant expects its logistics network to be stretched to the limit over the coming weeks, Amazon is now allowing shoppers to collect their orders from its Amazon Books and Amazon 4 Star bricks-and-mortar stores across the US.
With online sales expected to surge 33 per cent this year to a record $189 billion, Amazon has also launched a new “Amazon Day” delivery option, allowing customers to select a single day of the week for all their orders to be delivered.
