Q/ The biggest improvement e-tailers made of late seems to be in the last-mile delivery, both in terms of speed and quality. How was it achieved?

A/ At Amazon, we aim to provide the best online shopping experience and engagements for customers with a wide selection, great value and convenience. We know fully well that customers will shop with us only until they find a better experience elsewhere, so we strive hard to meet their standards.

To ensure last mile timely delivery, we have a robust infrastructure of over 60 FCs with more than 43MM cubic feet of storage space, 1,850 Amazon-owned and partner delivery stations in India and Sort Centres in 19 states, totaling a sorting area of close to 2.3 million square feet, which are successfully working to ensure customer delight.

We will continue to remain obsessed to provide the best online shopping experience and engagements for customers with a wide selection, great value and convenience.
