And then potentially as we have excess capacity, perhaps we can help in other areas” Said the Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky. He also said that the company is thinking of lowering down the profit in the pandemic.
Olasvasky further said: “Most of our One-Day costs are really what we have done to our logistic networks to a allow for one-day shipping, things like putting inventory close to the customer, things like building up or Amazon logistics network and delivery network and also having multiple pull times and shipping and shipping windows during the day.”
