As an Amazon operations assistant, shipping is not a necessary part of the job. The responsibilities of an operations assistant are to process orders, maintain inventory, update product information, optimize product pages, etc. Shipping work belongs to warehousing and logistics work, so it is generally handled by dedicated logistics personnel. Of course, in some small or start-up companies, operations assistants may be required to handle shipping-related work part-time. But in general, the work scope that operations assistants need to focus on is more online operations, rather than offline physical processing and logistics.
