Where are the items coming from?
The items come from Amazon’s fulfillment center located at 6338 West 700 North Street, which opened in December, and are delivered by Amazon’s Flex drivers, who use their own personal cars.
“We have strategically grown our network to include fulfillment centers, package sortation centers and delivery stations all to be closer in proximity to our customers,” allowing “Amazon to deliver orders faster and more efficiently,” Natalie Wolfrom, a company spokesperson, said in an email.
Online retail and distribution giant Amazon has at least 10 sorting and fulfillment facilities along the Wasatch Front.
