Amazon Hub Delivery: How neighborhood stores earn extra income delivering packages

Amazon Hub Delivery (formerly ‘I Have Space’) enables local neighborhood stores across India to utilize their extra time during non-peak business hours to earn additional income by providing opportunity to deliver Amazon packages to customers nearby. Launched in 2014, the program now works with over 25,000 + store partners – including grocery stores, chemist shops, mobile recharge outlets, and tailoring stores. Store owners deliver packages typically within a 2–3-kilometer radius of their location, typically handling 25-50 packages on days where they choose to provide delivery services.

The program requires no upfront investment and allows store owners to either handle deliveries themselves or use their existing staff. What began as an India innovation now operates in eight countries, including the US, Japan, Mexico, and Spain.

I joined the Amazon Hub Delivery program six years ago when I was in my second year of college and going through a financial crunch. I needed a way to support my education, and this program gave me exactly that opportunity. I started as a delivery partner, and three years ago, I grew into running my own HD store — Monarch Enterprise. The best part? Amazon Hub Delivery helped me sustain my education while building a business that continues to support me today.

"Being an Amazon delivery partner has changed my life. COVID times were hard on me and my family, but I didn't give up. Now, I deliver more than 50 packages whenever I can. I ride my bicycle for all my deliveries – it's not fancy, but it gets the job done. I'm thankful to Amazon Hub Delivery program. They helped me provide delivery opportunity and earn a good additional income, especially during tough times."

Life wasn't easy after my accident. The leg injury made it difficult for me to even stand properly. I started helping at my father's kirana store, but we weren't making enough money for our daily needs. Then, a friend told me about Amazon Hub Delivery. I immediately contacted their local team to see if I could join the program to provide delivery services to earn additional income. They found a spot for me in Knowledge Park area, where there were many deliveries needed. Now I deliver with Amazon Hub Delivery program and help my father with his kirana shop. Thanks to the extra income from Amazon Hub Delivery, I can take good care of my family.

I started my journey with I Have Space, and now I'm excited to be part of Amazon Hub Delivery - Amazon's global delivery network! While the name is changing, the trust and opportunities that transformed my life remain the same. When I first joined, my garment shop was struggling. Today, not only do I earn well from deliveries, but my shop's footfall has also increased as customers learn about my business during deliveries. This program changed my family's life, and now with Amazon Hub Delivery, I'm looking forward to an even brighter future.
