Grand Junction provides a SaaS software platform designed for tendering loads to local delivery and courier companies. UPS would rarely be capable of same day deliveries because their vans once loaded at an Amazon distribution center (DC) go back to a UPS sort center, which may be many miles from the Amazon DC, and then sort the orders on to numerous trucks that then make the last mile deliveries. In short, the distance of the parcel carrier's sort center from an Amazon DC, the length of time required to sort orders into numerous delivery vans, and the distance of the sort center from a population center, can all work against same day deliveries. If a regional carrier's network is well aligned with an Amazon DC and a metro area, Amazon might be able to take an order in the morning in that urban area and deliver it at the end of the day. Couriers would be able to reliably deliver not just in the same day, but even within a few hours.
