[Revised September 29, 2021]

After two months working as an Amazon “Stower” (person who scans and stows products into shelving units), I decided to transfer and give the Packing Department a try…

This post previously offered suggestions for possible improvements to the Stow process. The suggestions were initially meant to be posted on an employee feedback form, but the constraints of that form made presenting the suggestions impractical. As an alternative, the suggestions were posted here, and a link to this post was provided in the feedback form.

The post received favorable responses and even some interest in further discussion. One response requested the discussion be moved to an internal Amazon Wiki (I wasn’t aware there was a Wiki). With the information available on the Wiki, the need for posting it here no longer exists. In compliance with that request, this post has been been updated with this brief explanation.

Any who have access to the internal Amazon Wiki who are interested in reading about the suggestions, and/or any follow-up discussions are invited to login to the Wiki.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know at [email protected]
