Amazon’s Lawrenceville Delivery Station Employs More Than 400

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — Amazon’s Lawrenceville delivery station opened September 2018, is 75,000 square feet and employs more than 400 part time and full time employees.

"This delivery station powers the last mile of our customer order process and helps speed up deliveries for customers," according to an Amazon spokesperson. "Packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighboring Amazon fulfillment and sortation centers, loaded into delivery vehicles and delivered to customers."

Some deliveries are made by small business owners who employ drivers that make deliveries on behalf of Amazon. Others are delivered by participants of Amazon’s innovative service called Amazon Flex. Through Amazon Flex, drivers can be their own boss, create their own schedules and make up to $25 per hour delivering packages on behalf of Amazon.

Amazon Flex participants make Amazon.com deliveries out of this station, Prime Now deliveries out of our Prime Now Hub, and Amazon Restaurant deliveries, picking up orders from restaurants and delivering them directly to customers.

"In North America, Amazon currently has more than 75 operating delivery stations," said the spokesman. "In Georgia, we operate four fulfillment centers with more than 2,500 associates who pick, pack and ship orders. We also have two sortation centers in East Point and Jefferson, GA. The facilities employ hundreds of associates who sort and consolidate customer packages. These sortation centers enables Sunday delivery of packages for Amazon customers.

Packages are shipped to this location from Amazon fulfillment and sortation centers. Once these packages arrive at a delivery station, associates work in symphony with our backend technology to sort by delivery route maximizing delivery efficiency and, therefore, speeding up deliveries for customers.
