AMAZON FLEX EXPANDS INTO BRISBANE Amazon Australia has launched its delivery service, Amazon Flex, in Brisbane. According to the company, the service will give people the opportunity to be their own boss and earn extra money in their free time delivering Amazon packages to customers. The expansion of Amazon Flex into Brisbane will also enable Amazon to supplement its delivery capacity in the Sunshine State, ultimately speeding up deliveries for customers. Amazon Flex launched in Australia in January this year and is said to currently have more than 1,000 delivery partners earning extra money by delivering packages to Amazon customers in Sydney and Melbourne. Using the Amazon Flex app, interested delivery partners in Brisbane that have their own car can now sign-up, choose delivery blocks that fit their schedule and deliver packages. Amazon Australia Director of Operations Craig Fuller says the company is pleased to be able to offer hundreds of flexible earning opportunities to people in Brisbane at a time when they are more needed than ever. “Our delivery partners tell us they enjoy the flexibility they have to schedule delivery blocks around their existing commitments – whether it’s their primary job, or caring for their children,” he said. “With greater control of when they work, Amazon Flex delivery partners are able to juggle this new normal with securing extra income. “Expanding our Amazon Flex network into Brisbane gives Supplying & Replenishing Stores Nationally with a Local Focus on Service The Distributors are Australia’s leading national wholesaler.
