Amazon cuts more than 1,200 delivery contract jobs, as it severs ties with several small delivery firms across the U.S.

"We have ended relationships with some partners and Amazon is working closely with all impacted drivers to ensure they find opportunities to deliver Amazon packages with other local Delivery Service Partners with little to no disruption to pay," the spokesperson added.

While Amazon continues to cull poor-performing delivery partners, the program has grown quickly since it launched two years ago. There are now more than 1,300 DSPs across five countries that have added 85,000 jobs and delivered more than 1.8 billion packages worldwide, Amazon But the ease with which Amazon can cut contracts with DSPs shows that the program isn't devoid of risks for the entrepreneurs who choose to launch their own delivery service.

For others, Amazon's decision to end a contract can seem abrupt, including at IntelliQuick Delivery Inc., an Arizona-based delivery contractor. IQDI informed employees on July 1 that it had lost its contract with Amazon.

The monopoly grows. Funny liberals are shutting down the economy over a virus and then blaming Trump. Who’s benefiting from the liberal shut down? Big corporations. Wake up people. Liberals only say they care their actions say something different! Pay attention.

Ah, Capitalism.

Hurry, hurry, buy more Amazon stocks, so they can cut more American jobs. Thank you FED, BlackRock, Trump, GOP and the RICH.

Still blaming China for taking American jobs?

Guess this Year's'Christmas Gifts' will be Delivered by March!!!!!

This dangerous ‘party drug’ has been everywhere — even on AmazonGamma-hydroxybutyric acid, or GHB, is making a comeback as a new generation of recreational users rediscovers it through online marketplaces. very weak generation is from the beginning of the 21st century ... with no future, lost and useless in every way, and when they want to end this, they blame the government. People have been doing this and abusing it since I can remember - lost a friend to it he vomited in his sleep - ketamine also being widely abused rn and people are dying from fetantyl in cocaine - 3 people from Hs in past month LOL! 'dangerous'. It's dangerous if you were part of the military's initial studies. Those men 'fell' out of windows.
