      I don’t think Amazon prioritizes efficiency, but delivery speed (after sitting on the packages for days). I often seem multiple Amazon trucks going to the same house in a day.

        I mean they kinda can’t prioritize efficiency when they offer next day shipping that is promised to be done before 0800 for certain products. I ordered some batteries yesterday at 1900 and they were here before I woke up at 0600.

        Yes I know amazon bad and all that but I do not have the money to pay literally double for the same exact product or wait a month and pay tariffs on alibaba.

      Amazon is its own thing. It’s not really a shipping company. And they’ve had their own layoff issues. Consumers spending less affects everyone.
