How many packages does Amazon deliver each day?

How to get close to this number

Work from customers and frequency. The company has hundreds of millions of active customers worldwide, and a subscription customer orders something every week or two on average. Customers divided by days between orders gives a daily figure in the tens of millions, and the explanation checks it as roughly 185 packages every second.

The per-second conversion is what makes the figure comprehensible, and it is the same move as the Big Mac question on this site. A huge annual or daily total means nothing until you turn it into a rate you can judge, and 185 a second is simultaneously absurd and plausible once you remember it is spread across every warehouse on the planet.

The vertical integration in the explanation is the consequence. At this volume, no third-party carrier can absorb the traffic, so the company built its own airline, container fleet and last-mile network. Logistics scale forces a retailer to become a transport company, and the package count is the number that made that inevitable.
