A look at the Amazon Distribution Center in Colorado Springs during Prime Day

Wednesday is day two of Amazon Prime Day, and our cameras were at the company's fulfillment center in Colorado Springs as employees worked to get out millions of orders from that facility.

60% of sales for Prime Day come from small and medium sized business, while 8,500 of them are based in Colorado. That team has been preparing for this event for some time now.

This is the 10 year of Amazon Prime Day. This is the first time that there has been same day delivery available from the Colorado Springs facility.

Last year, News5 got a tour of the distribution center's operations during Christmas weekend.
