By Jim Pytell, Assistant Editor On Jun 25, 2020

Amazon has signed 14 leases for delivery stations across New Jersey with plans to open them all by the end of the year.

“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 thousands of job opportunities for the talented workforce,” says Amazon Spokesperson Emily Hawkins.

According to Hawkins, delivery stations power the “last mile” of the online retail giant’s order fulfillment process. Packages are transported to delivery stations from Amazon fulfillment centers, are sorted, and then loaded into vehicles for delivery to customers.  

Collectively, Amazon says that the stations will create thousands of full time and part time jobs, paying a minimum of $15 per hour and offering a variety of benefits packages. The company has more than 150 total delivery stations in the US.

The company adds that delivery stations also offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to build their own business delivering Amazon packages, as well as independent contractors the flexibility to be their own boss and create their own schedule delivering for Amazon Flex.

•       Paddock Street, Avenel, NJ
