Amazon Rewards Customers $10 Incentive For Pickup Purchases To Cut Delivery Costs

Amazon offers its Prime subscribers $10 to pick up orders worth $25 or more at designated pickup points, such as Kohl's stores and Whole Foods, rather than have the goods shipped to their homes. This move is part of Amazon's efforts to reduce costs for home delivery and returns amid slack consumer demand. The increasing use of Amazon pickup points would help the company bypass costly residential package drop-offs and is seen as a huge opportunity for Amazon to reduce delivery costs. Amazon is seeking to cut delivery-related costs across the board after a period of explosive growth.
