>Amazon told shippers the service, known as Amazon Shipping, will be paused starting in June. It was available in just a handful of U.S. cities.
Under the program, Amazon drivers would pick up packages from businesses and deliver them to consumers, rather than ship orders from Amazon warehouses.
How does that work? So it is like Instacart but with Amazon picking it up and delivering it? I don't see how could that scale.
Edit: Incase this isn't clear, I have placed an order for 6 items in 6 different shops. If all these items were in Amazon Warehouse, they would have packaged together and shipped from One Destination. Just reading from the sentence it seems Amazon Shipping will have to go to 6 different places to pick up the package. It is the case that One to Many scale, many to many / one is difficult.
