Amazon Debuts 30-Minute Delivery in Seattle and Philadelphia

Amazon has unveiled a rapid delivery service in Seattle and Philadelphia, promising to complete orders within half an hour. This new "ultra-fast" option is designed to help Amazon compete more effectively with other quick delivery providers such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart.

Wide Selection of Items Available

Shoppers can choose from a broad assortment of products, including dairy, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, personal care items like toothpaste and cosmetics, pet snacks, diapers, paper goods, electronics, seasonal merchandise, non-prescription medications, snacks, dips, and much more.

Pricing and Fees

  • Prime members can access this expedited delivery for $3.99 per order.
  • Non-Prime customers will be charged $13.99 per order.
  • Orders under $15 will incur an additional $1.99 small basket fee.

How to Use the Service

Residents of Seattle and Philadelphia can check the Amazon app or website for the "30-Minute Delivery" feature in the navigation menu to determine if the service is available in their location.

Once an order is placed, customers can monitor their delivery status and have the option to tip drivers directly through the app.

Behind the Scenes: Faster Fulfillment

According to Amazon, the company is leveraging compact, specialized facilities positioned near densely populated areas in Seattle and Philadelphia. These centers are optimized for swift order processing, prioritize worker safety, minimize delivery distances, and enable quicker drop-offs.

Building on Global Fast Delivery Initiatives

This launch comes after Amazon introduced a 15-minute delivery service in the United Arab Emirates last October, where some customers received their orders in as little as six minutes.

Amazon’s Ongoing Expansion in Fast Delivery

The introduction of this service is Amazon’s latest step into the rapid delivery sector in the U.S. The company previously rolled out "Prime Now" in 2014, offering one-hour deliveries, but discontinued the service in 2021.

In June, Amazon announced plans to invest over $4 billion to triple the scale of its delivery network by 2026, further expanding its fast delivery capabilities.
