Amazon is testing a fast grocery delivery service in Seattle that promises deliveries in 30 minutes or less for urgent items.

Fast Grocery Delivery in Seattle

The service, named Amazon Now, is part of the Amazon shopping app and offers thousands of essential items, including groceries, for delivery in specific Seattle areas.

Amazon Prime members enjoy reduced delivery fees starting at $3.99 per order, a $10 savings compared to non-members. A small basket fee will apply to orders under $15.

What’s Available for Delivery

The range of items available for rapid delivery includes milk, eggs, produce, toothpaste, diapers, electronics, and over-the-counter medications.

Customers can check the availability of the “30-minute delivery” option through the Amazon app and homepage.

Efficient Delivery Operations

To ensure timely deliveries, Amazon uses smaller facilities strategically located in Seattle, enhancing order fulfillment efficiency.

Despite the new service, Amazon continues to offer free same-day, overnight, and next-day deliveries to all Prime members.
