Amazon.com Inc. announced a new program that will let Prime members group together delivery orders to reduce the number of boxes shipped -- helping the company cut costs and burnish its green cred.
The service, called Amazon Day, will enable U.S. Prime subscribers to select a specific day when all of their orders will arrive, the company said in a statement Thursday. Members will still be able to use Prime’s other options, such as free two-day shipping.
