How Amazon Is Using and Selling Its Supply of Masks
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) has faced a number of tough choices since demand surged due to the coronavirus. It was forced to slow shipments for many items deemed non-essential -- a move that angered some Prime members, who pay for two-day delivery -- and it has had to decide how to prioritize the sale of essential medical supplies like N-95 face masks while also keeping its own workers safe.
Amazon ordered millions of non-medical grade masks "weeks ago," according to a blog post by the company. The retailer has been shipping those around the company for use by workers in its warehouses and distribution centers.
