Amazon will open 33 new US fulfillment centres this year that will raise peak fulfillment centre standard-sized product storage capacity by nearly 35 million cubic feet more than last year’s. It is also investing in building capacity, tools, services and programmes for sellers as well as hiring more staff, and aims to deliver a great holiday season.

The e-commerce giant hired more than 175,000 employees and invested billions of dollars in COVID-related initiatives to help meet increased customer demand and protect the health and well-being of its employees. As a result, selling partners have had record sales on Amazon and continue to account for more than half of units sold, the company said in a press release.

As part of its holiday season preparation, it has already reduced its own retail product ordering to accommodate more of sellers’ products and help them continue to see sales growth.

It is adjusting its inventory performance to ensure all products have space available during peak season.
