Amazon rolls out same-day delivery of perishable groceries in 1,000 US cities

Amazing stuff! Soon, you never have to leave your home again! 😊

"Amazon is now letting shoppers in 1,000 cities across the U.S. order perishable food items through its Same-Day Delivery service, as the e-commerce giant seeks to compete more directly with Instacart and Walmart+ in the growing quick-commerce space. 

Amazon plans to expand the option to over 2,300 cities by the end of the year.

Users can now order fresh grocery items, including produce, dairy, meat, seafood, baked goods, and more, alongside everyday household products, electronics, and other items available for Same-Day Delivery. ...

Additionally, temperature-sensitive products are delivered in insulated bags. ...

Same-day delivery is free for orders worth more than $25 for Prime members. If an order doesn’t meet the minimum amount, subscribers can still choose same-day delivery for a $2.99 fee.
For customers without a Prime membership, the service is available with a $12.99 fee, regardless of the order size. ..."
