A driver moves a cart full of packages at the DUR 3 Amazon Delivery Station on Monday, Dec. 2, 2024, in Milpitas, Calif. MILPITAS — Early on Cyber Monday, before many Bay Area residents had reached for their phones to order products on the year’s biggest online shopping day, a local Amazon delivery station warehouse was already buzzing with activity.
“It’s a very exciting time,” said Jae Garcia, a senior station delivery manager at Amazon’s Milpitas warehouse. “There’s a lot more congestion and chaos that comes with these high-volume events and getting packages out to customers who are purchasing gifts for the holidays for family, loved ones and friends.”
“When you got small children, you can’t shop for all the deals in the store with such a busy schedule,” McClure said. “Its convenient and great to have access to such deals during the holiday season.” Cyber Monday sales are a weekend-long event for major retailers. Amazon kicked off its sales right after midnight Saturday, while Walmart opened discounted offers for Walmart+ members on Sunday afternoon before opening it up to all customers. Other retailers such as Costco began offering its sales Monday morning.
Hot Cyber Monday sellers were expected to include electronics such as televisions, Bluetooth headphones and speakers, digital cameras and smart watches. But it is also a popular time for skin care products, discounted apparel bikes, gift cards and jewelry. “It takes the headache out of running the business,” McClure said. “With hundreds or thousands of orders we would have to be packing ourselves during the busy holiday season, it’s amazing Amazon can take care of that.”Dear Abby: My miracle was all over social media, but my family is still shunning meAsking Eric: Our 6-week separation has been so nice.
