Amazon Warehouse: Fast delivery routes increase customer satisfaction
The range of goods offered by Amazon is very large, but not unique. Most products are also available on other online platforms for comparable prices and even listings of the same products can be found on Amazon. Nevertheless, Amazon usually stands out in terms of sales figures. This is due to the high level of customer satisfaction. They achieve this, among other things, by opening various warehouses in each country in which they offer products, in order to enable short delivery routes and thus fast delivery times.
With Amazon Prime, buyers can actually always count on next-business-day delivery. By the warehouses a faster back dispatch is likewise possible, whereby Amazon customers receive their money back faster.

That’s how fulfillment from Amazon warehouses work
Basically, most Amazon warehouses operate on the same principle and perform the same tasks. These tasks can be divided into five different categories:
- Unpacking and checking incoming goods
- Storage of goods
- Recording the location in the system
- Putting together shipments
- Shipping
To be able to work as effectively as possible, Amazon has developed an appropriate working model that enables exactly that. It starts as soon as a customer orders something on amazon. At that moment the platform passes the information on to the corresponding warehouse. There, employees receive a message about it, remove the goods from the shelves, pack them and ship them. Amazon tracking keeps the buyer up to date on the individual steps so that he always knows when the parcels arrive. If he is not satisfied with the products, he sends them back.
In addition to logistics, Amazon Fulfillment also includes the areas of accounting and payment processing. Fulfillment by Amazon combines these topics in one service and can be used by merchants accordingly.
That happens in the Amazon warehouses
The work in the warehouses can be broken down into two activities: the Picker and the Stower. When an order message from Amazon arrives at the warehouse, the Pickers receive a corresponding message. The responsible Picker now has several orders displayed in his device, from which he must collect all the products. The software tells him in which order he has to pick the products from which shelves in order to work as efficiently as possible.
He now places the collected goods from the shelves in containers, each of which represents a single order. When the containers are completely filled, they are passed on to the packer, who now packs them and automatically addresses them with the help of a computer. In the last step, he places the package on the conveyor belt, the package is then transported to the truck and loaded there.
If the customer is not satisfied with his order and sends it back, the Stower will accept it. The software then shows the customer the next available shelf space where he can place the goods. The system remembers the position so that the Picker knows where to find the product in the future. In many warehouses, the Pickers and Stowers are now supported by robots that can carry a total weight of up to 340 kg, thus relieving them of work.
