Disclaimer: I work at Amazon, views are my own.
Delivery trucks: 100,000 trucks at $70k each = $7 billion investment over 5 years. [1]
Datacenters: 80% renewable energy by 2024, 100% by 2030 [2]
For boxes, I'd agree that there's a lot of room for improvement in reduction in cardboard use and packaging reuse.
Everyone should come to their own conclusions about whether companies are doing enough in each area. For delivery trucks in particular I'd call the investments happening there much more than "spare change".
