Internet shopping website Amazon is opening a delivery station in Exeter and will work with independent delivery companies to deliver orders to its customers.
Launched in 2012, Amazon Logistics empowers independent local, regional and national delivery companies across the UK to deliver Amazon parcels to customers every day of the week, including Sundays.
The company, which has branched out into internet TV services, will employ more than 20 people directly at the new delivery station in Sowton, Exeter when it opens in September.
Amazon will use eight independent delivery companies who are hiring more than 80 drivers to deliver parcels to the Exeter area.
Jamie Stephenson, UK Director for Amazon Logistics, said: "Amazon Logistics adds capacity and flexibility to Amazon's delivery network, enabling us to meet the delivery needs of customers.
"Amazon Logistics is also helping independent local delivery companies to grow their businesses by providing state of the art technology to deliver Amazon orders."
Amazon Prime members receive unlimited One-Day Delivery on millions of items as one of the many benefits of Prime. They can also have their parcels delivered on Sunday at no additional charge.
Amazon continues to offer customers more and more ways to receive their orders including free Standard Delivery to more than 14,000 Amazon Pickup Locations, ranging from Amazon Lockers to Post Office branches and convenience stores.

Our Sub office mail comes out of Exeter , I can't see Amazon delivering out our way , with 80 drivers it's going to be in and around Exeter I would think , the only way they it would be profitable due to the population density.

Yeah Amazon won't bother with rural stuff they'll shift that on RM. But all the profitable city deliveries they'll mop up. Ultimately money out of RMs pocket and the potential for job cuts in delivery units.
