I create shoppable videos reviews of products sold on Amazon. My strength is that I film in-depth, highly descriptive, long-form videos, which I believe helped me achieve quick success with the program.

"For too long, our industry has treated moving customers like brand new ones. EasyMove flips that model. Our customers shouldn't lose their history, their pricing or their trust just because they're changing addresses."

The mail will stop if the agency can't meet its obligations. That includes critical deliveries like prescription drug packages. Postmaster General David Steiner warned lawmakers this week that USPS could run out of cash in less than 12 months without congressional action.

"Transportation costs are a big factor there. Every company that is involved and has logistics and they have to pay for gas, either they have to absorb this cost, or they will charge the third party that will provide this service. I'm not surprised this is happening, because at some point, Amazon will say we cannot absorb all this cost."

"This was a natural next step in a relationship that's already delivering for our customers," Aldi COO Dave Rinaldo said in an email. "Customers get a more seamless shopping experience while Aldi remains focused on what we do best - delivering high-quality groceries at the lowest possible prices."

The little red four-wheeled delivery vehicle is expected to operate near Fremont's Downtown and City Center, an area centrally located near a high density of restaurants, apartments and other businesses in the city. Manufactured by Sonic Manufacturing Technologies in Fremont, DoorDash Dot can travel up to 20 miles per hour. It has built-in cup holders and enough cargo space to fit an extra-large pizza and a case of water.

Aurora, Kodiak, and Waabi are racing to eliminate drivers-a cost that represents up to 40% of per-mile trucking expenses, according to The New York Times. Aurora plans to grow from a handful of autonomous trucks to more than 200 by year's end, then thousands by 2027.

When delivery units operated by companies like Coco or Serve Robotics run into real-world obstacles - like a garden, for example - these robot wranglers spring into action, freeing them from potholes, helping them upright after a fall, and ferrying them back to headquarters for maintenance.

Whole Foods shelves sit empty after a data breach shut down its wholesale distributor. Meat packers working for JBS Foods are paralyzed as an $11 million ransomware attack takes out their processing facilities. Some 2.2 million workers at Stop & Shop and Hannaford have their personal data exposed as the result of a cyberattack on parent company Ahold Delhaize USA. These scenarios, straight from a William Gibson novel, are becoming increasingly common in supply chains across the world.

It has been almost three years since the Port of San Francisco awarded TMG Partners the redevelopment rights for San Francisco's Pier 38, with TMG winning over the Port with a pitch that emphasized the speed with which they planned to act and an "immediate revitalization" of the pier with a mix of public, office and maritime uses. But Pier 38, which has been shuttered since 2011, remains red tagged and inactive.

End-of-line packaging often sits at the quiet end of a production line, yet it carries an outsized responsibility. This is the final checkpoint before products leave your facility, meet customers, and represent your brand in the real world. A single error here can undo hours of upstream efficiency and compromise overall product integrity. That's why building reliability into this stage is essential for both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Nine in ten retailers globally are planning to raise their spending on artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise their e-commerce operations over the next 12 to 24 months, with online delivery execution a key area of focus. A total of 38% of European retailers identify speed, tracking and proactive communication around the delivery process as areas where AI can deliver the greatest impact.

Amazon automation isn't a magic button. It's a business model, and like any business model, outcomes vary based on execution. The short answer is yes, it can be profitable. The honest answer is that it depends entirely on how it's done and who is running it.

That's a problem. Without a doubt, a great website and top-level marketing will help generate new sales, but it's the delivery experience that warrants future ones. This is because today's consumer not only has options for where they'll buy but also a high set of expectations. What's more, they remember the way a product arrives at their doorstep more than how it was sold.

You're scrolling through an online retailer, like Amazon, Shein or eBay, and spot a shirt on sale for $40. You add it to your cart, but at checkout, a $10 shipping fee suddenly appears. Frustrated, you close the tab. But what if that same shirt was priced at $50 with free shipping? The likelihood that you would have bought it without a second thought is much higher.

The technology underpinning retail operations is under scrutiny in 2026 as fashion executives look to streamline systems with the aim to unlock efficiency, cut costs and meet consumer expectations for speed and personalisation in the shopping journey. At the retail event Lightspeed Edge on 12 January, Lightspeed - the unified point-of-sale (POS) and payments platform for SMEs such as Apricot Lane Boutique and Neal's Yard Remedies - convened industry leaders to explore the strategic imperative for integrated technology ecosystems over siloed systems.

Statistics from the 2025 holiday shopping season clearly show that AI is playing a huge role in how people shop. But new research from retail payment platform Adyen found that many consumers are ready for AI to become their personal shopper. Just over half-51%-said they're open to letting AI take over the entire shopping process, including making final purchases. Millennials are the most willing to let agents do their shopping, with nearly three in five saying they are ready for such a shift.
