While many Michiganders get their Amazon packages delivered by a person, Mackinac Island residents get their packages via horse.

In a WDIV Facebook post, an image shows a team of two horses pulling a carriage full of Amazon packages.

Thomas Sheffler, marketing manager for Mackinac Island Carriage Tours, said the island gets about 100 to 250 packages a day. While bikes are permitted, the most efficient way to deliver packages are through dray wagon horse carriages.

A dray wagon, usually on two or four wheels, can transport heavy items on their flat or box-like bed. They are almost always steered by animals. In this case, by horses.

Mackinac Island banned motorized vehicles in the early 1900s. According to Sheffler, when cars were first introduced to the island, the noise scared the horses. So, officials stuck to horse traffic.

There is only one ambulance, police car and firetruck on the island, said Sheffler.

In the cold months, Sheffler said Mackinac officials are diligent about keeping the streets cleans to ensure proper deliver. However, there are alternative pick up locations for residents that live in less accessible areas.

Sheffler also mentioned that Mackinac Carriage Tours also delivery FedEx and USPS packages on horse-drawn carriages.
