Amazon Australia goes live in new tour programme

The company now offers virtual tours of its fulfillment centre. 

Shoppers will now get a peak of Amazon Australia’s operations as it offers free virtual tours of its fulfillment centres in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.

The virtual tours will be available four days a week, and will run for an hour at 10:30 am on Mondays and Thursdays, and at 1:30 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. 

“At Amazon, our promise is all about providing great value and fast delivery for our customers. In order to do that, we’ve hired talented employees from right across the country, and invested in the systems and technology to support them,” Mindy Espidio-Garcia, the newly appointed Director of Operations at Amazon Australia, said.

“With online shopping now a part of everyday life, this is the perfect opportunity for customers to join us for an hour to see what happens after they place their order.”
