I have to applaud Amazon Fresh for their innovative packaging (vs. e.g. Google Express)
Handle paper bags instead of boxes, frozen water bottles instead of freezer packs to keep things cold, everything packed tightly but not bulging.
- dx87 7y agoI think they might be doing away with the paper bags with handles. I got a delivery this morning and all of the bags were some kind of thicker paper covered in ads, and they didn't have handles. I don't know how the new bags are environmentally, but they didn't tear nearly as much as the brown bags with handles.

- jayd16 7y agoThey originally started with very heavy freezer bags and freezer packs or dry ice. I really like the paper and water bottles but I do wonder if the thick plastic bottle is actually less trash overall.
- r00fus 7y agoIt's immediately usable as a cooling device and consumable as portable water. If you assume (sadly true) that most families probably use bottled water (we do for short trips where it's easier than filling up the reusable ones), this simply defers new purchases of bottled water. Granted, it's promoting bottled water usage, but from a consumer point of view, I'd rather the frozen bottle of water than one MORE of those stay-kool packs.
