Amazon to Test Service Requiring Drivers
to Assemble Furniture Upon Delivery.
Amazon is potentially creating a slew of
new responsibilities for its drivers. .
'Bloomberg' reports that Amazon is trying out a
new service that would see their drivers tasked with
unpacking and assembling items they’re delivering.
Similar service options are currently offered by competitors
like Wayfair, Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe’s. .
Amazon’s wide range of products means that its
drivers would have to know how to assemble a vast number
of furniture items and appliances of all sizes. .
They would also reportedly have to take
on some degree of customer service. .
If customers aren’t satisfied with their
final product, the drivers would be tasked with taking back
the delivered and assembled items on the spot.
Amazon will reportedly be testing the service
in Virginia and two other unnamed markets
