  • In 2019, Amazon’s dedicated last-mile delivery network delivered over 3.5 billion customer packages globally.
  • This holiday season, the number of items that were delivered with Prime Free One-Day and Prime Free Same-Day Delivery nearly quadrupled compared to the same time period last holiday season, making this Amazon’s fastest holiday yet.
  • Over 100 million items sold by independent third-party sellers – mostly small and medium-sized businesses – were shipped with Prime Free One-Day Delivery over the holidays in the U.S.
  • Millions more items were ordered to an Amazon Hub location during the holiday season than ever before.
  • 60 % more customers shipped their holiday order to an Amazon pickup point this season compared to last year.
