E-commerce behemoth Amazon said on Dec. 1 it is rolling out its new “ultra-fast” delivery options in test markets in certain areas of Seattle and Philadelphia, promising delivery of groceries and essential household items in 30 minutes or less.
By utilizing the Amazon Now app, customers in the Seattle and Philadelphia regions can simply click on the “30-Minute Delivery” option in the navigation bar to determine if the service is available in their areas. Those eligible can browse among thousands of items now available for delivery within half an hour of the order placement. Order tracking and driver tipping are also available via the app.
