Chloe Harris: AMAZON PRINT SERIES: A Lockdown Perspective 2021 #5
“AN OUTBREAK OF ORDERS”
In this scene, deliveries arrive to LEEDS AMAZON LBA8 during the middle of their transit. We send to DONCASTER, LEEDS, HULL, MANCHESTER, NEWCASTLE and SHEFFIELD. Our AMAZON, LEEDS helps provide Prime members with their orders in two days or fewer. Working on night shifts, prime orders make up a lot of what we process. In the scene pictured, here, the ”Feeders” take parcels from the metal or cardboard containers (pictured on both side of the print) onto the belt at a constant pace, starting the operations. Furniture like Flat-pack sets coming through Amazon during lockdowns makes parcel sizes varied.
Although a “Scanner”, I have been in a Feeding role before. You’re separated with screens as another corona measure. It is demanding physically, but you're the first to finish at the end of the night.
