The Kitchener and Cambridge Delivery Centres are 'Last Mile' Shipping centres.
I watched a video on this, and it looks like these delivery centers take in all the packages from the GTA fulfillment centers destined for the Waterloo region (I'm guessing the Kitchener one will cover KW and the Cambridge one will cover Cambridge/Guelph?) via a truck that arrives maybe twice daily from each of the GTA fulfillment centers (There are currently 5 that I know of in the GTA now, Will we get same day prime now?) and are then handed off to local drivers to go to the last destination.
It would make sense for Cambridge to cover Cambridge, part of southern Kitchener, southern Guelph and perhaps Brantford, and Kitchener to cover the rest of KW and northern Guelph. Perhaps Stratford too.
Initially it seems like big news, and it’s better us than elsewhere, but I see it no different than Canada Post depots — they are both necessities to fulfil their agenda.
