Amazon, the global e-commerce giant, has recently launched a new initiative called the “Hub Delivery” program. This innovative program is designed to empower small businesses by partnering with them to deliver Amazon packages. The program aims to recruit 2,500 small business partners across 23 states by the end of 2023, potentially resulting in an additional $38 million in income for these businesses.
The Hub Delivery program is a part of Amazon’s broader Hub network, a worldwide system of pickup locations that allows businesses with physical locations to offer secure package pickup and returns to Amazon customers. This not only provides a valuable service to Amazon customers but also increases foot traffic and potential sales at these businesses.
The program targets a wide range of small businesses, from coffee shops and florists to plumbers and hair salons. These businesses are expected to commit to delivering between 20 to 50 packages daily…

Partners can make up to $27,000 in incremental income a year, providing a profitable new revenue stream that could have a significant impact on their business. “Amazon’s Hub Delivery program represents a win-win situation for all parties involved.
Small businesses get a chance to increase their income and visibility, Amazon customers enjoy more convenient and reliable delivery options, and local communities benefit from the economic boost,” said Retail Expert, Jeanel Alvarado. The program has already seen success in its pilot phase.
