Amazon has officially opened its first same-day fulfillment center in Massachusetts, it announced, a 155,000 square foot facility located in the town of Bridgewater.
Such sub same-day facilities operate as Amazon mini-fulfillment centers optimized for delivering hundreds of thousands of items with ultra-fast delivery speed, the company asserted. They are recently developed operations, Amazon added, optimized for faster click-to-delivery speeds.
With the new same-day center, Prime members in the Greater Boston area now can receive orders in as fast as three to five hours after they make purchases, the company noted.
“We have a great team here in Bridgewater, and we are proud to have our employees making history with this first-of-its-kind facility in New England,” said the fulfillment center’s site leader Andrew Schwarz, in announcing the opening. “We are creating hundreds of new jobs with great benefits and improving the experience for customers here in Massachusetts.”
