Will they be individual contractors? That would mean more taxes and no benefits. Also (as my friend who drove Uber found out), repairs and insurance on vehicles gets problematic when it's on the owner.

I wonder if Amazon will have good control over the quality of delivery.

Amazon is not turning over a profitable part of their business for sure.

You can count on no benefits, no overtime, and driving your car into the ground. At the end of the day, you’d probably make more money handing out fries at McDonald’s.

Some people make it work, some don’t.

Also, as I understand it, a ‘Contractor’ must have sources of revenue other than Amazon. If solely a deliverer for Amazon, they are considered an Employee! (Tricky sometimes)

LOL - working for a package delivery company, I have seen pictures of packages on car windshields, in the middle of the lawn, in the road and run over, and other places. I think my favorite one was the one tossed onto the roof.
