- cptskippy 6y agoThey've done it in the US as well. Pretty much every last mile logistics company in the US is beyond awful.
- notatoad 6y ago> Pretty much every last mile logistics company in the US is beyond awful. From everything I've heard, Amazon's own last-mile delivery service is also pretty awful. They haven't improved anything, just made the problem their own instead of anybody else's.
- lightgreen 6y agoSometimes it is not even vans, but old crappy passenger cars.
- chiph 6y agoA couple of years ago they ordered 20,000 Sprinters from Mercedes-Benz for the US delivery fleet. Previously, MB were selling about 27,000 yearly, so this one order tied up the factory for almost 9 months. https://www.trucks.com/2018/09/06/mercedes-benz-launches-production-sprinter-van/ https://www.trucks.com/2018/09/06/mercedes-benz-launches-pro... https://goo.gl/maps/V7DtAFqrYz7ZUTUg6 https://goo.gl/maps/V7DtAFqrYz7ZUTUg6

- hansthehorse 6y agoThere is an Amazon distribution center a mile from my house. Every morning it's like bees leaving the hive with all the Sprinters leaving the lot.
