Amazon is simply a massive operation. I don't know how they keep up with all the packages we order just at my house!

Not to mention the level of packages delivered across New York and the country. How can they keep up with it all?

Well, they can fulfill orders quickly and efficiently because of their wide network of regional distribution centers, warehouses, and delivery drivers.
