Amazon said, it is investing more than $4 billion to triple the size of its delivery network by 2026. Its working on transforming existing rural delivery stations into hybrid hubs with storing inventories for quicker delivery. Amazon uses machine learning algorithms to learn what items local Prime members need and curates them in those areas. Wild bird food in Dubuque, Iowa, travel backpacks in Findlay, Ohio, and sun body butter in Sharptown, Md., are some examples cited by Amazon. Jamil Ghani, Amazon's global vice president of Amazon Prime, cited same-day delivery, which is available to Prime members in many cities throughout the United States on purchases that exceed $25, as one of members' "favorite benefits." The company noted that the expansion allows more customers in rural areas to benefit from same-day shipping when purchasing "everyday essentials" such as groceries and household goods. "These items are speed-critical, and when customers need them, they often want them delivered as soon as possible. No one wants to wait two days to receive paper towels, diapers, or dog food when they've run out," the company said.
