Amazon is piloting a program that has its contracted Flex drivers picking up and delivering packages from malls, as first reported by Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>. The program, which Bloomberg<\/em> says Amazon has been running since last year, could help Amazon fulfill orders for same-day or two-day deliveries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just another way we are able to connect Amazon sellers with customers via convenient delivery options,\u201d Amazon spokesperson Lauren Samaha said in an emailed statement to The Verge.<\/em> Samaha added that only a handful of sellers are participating in the program, but didn\u2019t specify which ones.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not entirely clear where Amazon is running the test, either. Drivers who spoke to Bloomberg<\/em> about the program cite picking up packages from malls located in Chandler, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Tysons Corner, Virginia.<\/p>\n
