Another section of the warehouse includes custom packaging machines where teams of workers measure and cut packages specifically for items that don't fit the regular size boxes.
It's stuff that ordinarily doesn't fit in any of the preset boxes we have.
So, after the pickers pick the item, and the first person on the line, measures the item with a measuring tape or there's preset measuring measurements there.
It's usually a lot of bigger stuff, or weirdly shaped objects, so we see a lot of grills, car seats, a lot of those.
The custom boxing machine runs 24/7, and can make up to 200 boxes an hour.
We wanna that one place you can goto find anything that you want.
And if there's somebody out there that wants to buy an Israelian statue, we wanna be able to sell it to them.
Amazon selling all these random stuff may seem a little strange, but it's part of ecommerce company's effort to get you to buy anything and everything online.
