• Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) is expanding its logistics partnership with Rent-A-Center to support in-store pickup and returns.

• The collaboration covers more than 1,700 Rent-A-Center locations across the United States.

• Customers can pick up orders and return Amazon purchases at these stores without boxes or labels.

For Amazon, known primarily for its online marketplace and Prime ecosystem, this move extends its reach into physical retail locations through a partner network rather than its own stores. The expanded access at Rent-A-Center adds another option alongside existing pickup and return channels, giving customers more flexibility for how and where they receive or send back items.

Investors following NasdaqGS:AMZN can view this as part of the company’s broader effort to refine last mile logistics and reduce friction in the returns process. As the rollout progresses, key questions will center on customer adoption, operational efficiency, and how this kind of partnership model fits alongside Amazon’s other fulfillment and delivery initiatives.
