Amazon To Open Delivery Center In Delran

DELRAN, NJ — Amazon plans to open a new delivery site in Delran, the company announced on Thursday. It is one of five new delivery sites coming to New Jersey, and one of two in Burlington County. The other Burlington County site will be in Bordentown Township.

Amazon delivery sites offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to set up their own business delivering Amazon packages, according to a statement from the company. They also offer independent contractors the chance to set their own schedule delivering for Amazon Flex.

The company says the centers help speed up the delivery process for customers. Packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighboring Amazon Fulfillment and Sortation Centers, loaded into delivery vehicles and delivered to customers.

The site in Delran will be set up at 400 Delran Parkway. The other new centers will be set up in the following locations:

• 2473 Old York Road - Building 1 Bordentown, NJ
• 343 Half Acre Road Cranbury, NJ – AMXL delivery station
• 1115 King Georges Post Rd Edison, NJ
• 10 Princess Road Lawrence Township, NJ

“We are excited to continue to invest in the state of New Jersey with new delivery stations that will provide efficient delivery for customers, and create hundreds of job opportunities for the talented workforce,” Amazon spokesperson Emily Hawkins said. “These new delivery stations represent Amazon’s unwavering commitment to safety, technological innovation, and skilled teams who are obsessed with delivering for our customers.”

Each station is designed to meet the needs of Amazon’s electric delivery vehicles. Amazon’s goal is to put 2,000 electric delivery vehicles on the road by 2022.

The announcement comes as Amazon opens its newest delivery station in Linden. Other sites are scheduled to open soon in New Jersey. The other previously announced sites include:

• 600 Washington Avenue Carlstadt, NJ
• 8-B Court South Edison, NJ
• 200 Gregg Street Lodi, NJ
• 125 North Street Teterboro, NJ

Amazon said it has invested more than $14.5 billion across New Jersey, including infrastructure and compensation.
