(KWCH) - The Amazon “Last-Mile” distribution facility in Bel Aire’s Sunflower Commerce Park is among the shipping company’s localized operations that are ramping up for the holiday rush. On an average day, the Bel Aire Amazon facility, just a few miles southeast of Amazon’s Park City fulfillment center, processes about 55,000 packages. During the peak holiday season, that number rises to about 83,000 packages per day. Since January, when the Last-Mile Amazon facility opened in Bel Aire, the distribution center has processed more than 14 million packages. Senior Delivery Station Manager Corey Hawkins said the Bel Aire facility is extending its hours and bringing in more employees during the holiday season to keep up with the increase in packages. Hawkins said the Last-Mile facility has 850 associates who process packages every day. To effectively keep orders on time, he said six independent delivery service providers work with the facility, providing more than 500 drivers. A staffing increase and added holiday hours allow the weekly average of package deliveries to jump from about 371,000 to roughly 580,000, Hawkins said. </div></body>
