Amazon Business empowers organizations to leverage Smart Business Buying features to manage their delivery preferences, ensuring their teams receive what they need, when, where - and how they need them.

With increasing complexity of delivery needs due to factors like varied business locations, hybrid or remote employees, and unique time zones or opening hours, organizations of all sizes require smart solutions to equip their teams with essential work items. In the 2024 State of Procurement Report unveiled by Amazon Business, 52% of procurement decision-makers said they are are responsible for making purchases for multiple locations1.

Account administrators can customize the delivery experience by designating preferences for eligible organization-wide shipments fulfilled by Amazon Business (applicable to deliveries by Amazon Logistics). Buyers can set preferences for their individual shipments. This helps promote a consistent and improved delivery experience across all your locations and reduces the time spent designating delivery preferences by multiple purchasers for the same location.

Instead of deliveries spread out throughout hours, days, and weeks, we get them delivered across all of our locations on a dedicated Amazon Day that we selected based on our shipping preferences."

Provide customized instructions for seamless delivery3: Many organizations have different delivery points at the same location, multiple entrances to those locations, different entry codes etc. You can provide specific delivery instructions including:

Specify holiday closures: By default, we assume that your locations cannot receive shipments on federal holidays. You can let us know which of your locations can receive shipments on each federal holiday, or other company holidays your locations are closed.

Leverage same-day shipping: You can opt for fast same-day shipping for eligible items (available only to Business Prime members). Often these deliveries occur outside normal business hours. If your business can accept evening deliveries, simply turn on same-day shipping.

Opt for pallet delivery: If your location can receive pallets, you can indicate that as a preference for large deliveries. Amazon Business will prioritize eligible shipments for delivery on a pallet at no additional cost.

Upload shipping addresses in bulk: Upload multiple shipping addresses and share them with different groups within your organization, starting with a spreadsheet. Once uploaded, purchasers in those groups can have their shipments delivered to any of those addresses, eliminating the need for users manually add addresses and helping avoid user errors or duplicate addresses.

[1] The 2024 State of Procurement Report was fielded online by KRC Research from June 6 to July 14, 2023, among 3,108 procurement decision-makers and senior leaders familiar with procurement operations at their organization. Respondents were located in the US, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the UK. Respondents spanned nine industries and all commercial sector respondents worked at organizations with a minimum revenue threshold set based on geography.

Securing delivery over the public internet is an important part of cloud security. This whitepaper describes how Amazon CloudFront, a highly secure, managed service, can help architects and developers secure the delivery of their applications and content by providing useful, security-supporting features.

While some trips may be completed by air or train freight, middle mile transportation is usually completed by truck. Trucking is a challenging area to decarbonize, particularly considering long-haul distances and the requirements for high-power electric charging infrastructure across transportation routes.

Decarbonizing our transportation network will require cross-company partnerships, which is why we seek to participate in multi-stakeholder initiatives to shift the industry toward lower-carbon solutions. We leverage two engagement platforms: the Sustainable Freight Buyers Alliance (SFBA) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) International Transport Forum.

In 2022, we signed a grant to the Smart Freight Centre with a focus on identifying and building partnerships that can accelerate transportation decarbonization. We also play an active role in several industry initiatives and government partnerships, including the Cargo Owners for Zero Emission Vessels (coZEV) network, the First Movers Coalition, and the Clean Energy Demand Initiative.

Airfreight is one of the modes of transportation we use, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is one solution for reducing associated lifecycle emissions. However, SAF is still cost prohibitive, representing less than 0.1% of global aviation fuel. To help address these challenges, Amazon is a founding member of the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) and played a critical role in launching the Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates (SAFc) Registry at the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28).

To reduce our ocean freight-related transportation emissions, ships used to transport goods must transition to using zero-emission fuels. In early 2023, we co-founded the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA) together with the Aspen Institute, Patagonia, and Tchibo. Through ZEMBA, freight buyers will accelerate the commercial deployment of zero-emission shipping, enable economies of scale, and minimize maritime emissions, helping to get zero-emission ships on the water by the mid-2020s.

Heavy-duty truck freight is another key, yet emissions-intensive, component of most delivery networks, and we are working to decarbonize through scaling the use of electric vehicles. In December 2022, we co-founded SFBA, a group committed to decarbonizing freight operations. Members are working to increase demand for medium- and heavy-duty battery electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, as well as align on models for fleet electrification.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced a new grocery delivery subscription benefit now available to Prime members and customers using EBT in more than 3,500 cities and towns across the U.S. At $9.99 per month for Prime members, this subscription offers unlimited grocery delivery on orders over $35 from Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and a variety of local grocery and specialty retailers on Amazon.com, and provides access to even more convenient delivery and pickup options. Customers with a registered EBT card can experience the same grocery subscription benefits without a Prime membership for just $4.99 per month. A free 30-day trial is available so customers can see how this grocery delivery subscription works for them.

Amazon piloted its grocery subscription with Prime members in Columbus, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; and Sacramento, California, in late 2023. In a recent survey of grocery subscribers from the pilot, more than 85% of respondents shared that they are extremely or very satisfied with the unlimited free delivery benefit. Some of the top reasons customers shared for staying a subscriber following the trial were saving money on delivery fees and the service making their grocery shopping experience more convenient.

Prime members and customers with a registered EBT card can learn more about how Amazon is making grocery shopping easier, faster, and more affordable through the grocery subscription benefit, and sign up here.

Walmart's same-day and next-day volume over the past year compares favorably to a key competitor's recent results. Amazon said it delivered more than 4 billion U.S. units either the same day or next day in 2023.

Walmart has consistently slashed its store-to-home delivery costs in recent quarters by spreading those expenses over a growing customer base. It also began adding parcel stations to its stores last year to further improve last-mile efficiency.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos had a big surprise for correspondent Charlie Rose this week. After their 60 Minutes interview, Bezos walked Rose into a mystery room at the Amazon offices and revealed a secret R&D project: "Octocopter" drones that will fly packages directly to your doorstep in 30 minutes.

It's an audacious plan that Bezos says requires more safety testing and FAA approvals, but he estimates that delivery-by-drone, called Amazon "Prime Air," will be available to customers in as soon as 4-5 years.
