There was no research or logistical studies done before our office was brought on board. Our routes which were already rated at around 8 hrs, now get anywhere from 30-60 more packages per route. This includes many more larger packages.

I know more than 5 people that are Prime members and I haven't heard any of them mention that they will be shopping that day.
