Amazon is on track to achieve its fastest Prime delivery speeds in 2025, continuing a trend of record delivery times for the third consecutive year. The company is enhancing inventory placement to minimize travel distance and handling during fulfillment. Improvements in inbound fulfillment have reduced lead times by nearly four days, streamlining inventory purchasing. Additionally, Amazon is expanding its delivery capabilities, including three-hour service in select cities, and increasing access to same-day delivery in rural areas. Despite rising fulfillment costs, operational efficiencies have slightly lowered these expenses as a percentage of sales.
