This led to a dent in the bottom line as the net income fell by 26%. Just after which Jeff quoted:
“We are coming up to gear up our 25th holiday season the best for Prime customers — with millions of products available for free one-day delivery. Customers love the transformation of Prime from two days to one day — they’ve already ordered billions of items with free one-day delivery this year. It’s a big investment, and it’s the right long-term decision for customers. And although it’s counterintuitive, the fastest delivery speeds generate the least carbon emissions because these products ship from fulfillment centers very close to the customer — it simply becomes impractical to use air or long ground routes. Huge thanks to all the teams helping deliver for customers this holiday.”
