Amazon opening five new Canadian delivery stations

Amazon is opening five new delivery stations across Canada each scheduled to open by the end of October.

The new locations will include Burnaby, B.C., Calgary, Alta., and Windsor, Ottawa and Richmond Hill, Ont. Amazon says the new facilities will strengthen the company’s last-mile delivery network, connecting products to customers with greater efficiency.

“Amazon’s last-mile network plays a critical role in helping us continue to deliver at the fastest speeds ever. The new Amazon delivery stations bring us closer to our customers, while also creating job opportunities and allowing us to invest in local communities,” said Jasmin Begagic, director, Canada operations at Amazon Logistics.

Amazon delivery stations are localized facilities where employees sort, scan and prepare customer packages before they are loaded onto delivery vehicles.
