Amazon launches 30-minute delivery across the US — Amazon Now

Colleagues, I’d like to share an e‑commerce update: Amazon has launched 30‑minute delivery, Amazon Now, in multiple cities.

Key points:
- Launch in dozens of cities (incl. Atlanta, Dallas–Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Seattle); expansion to tens of millions of customers by year‑end.
- Selection: “thousands” of SKUs — fresh groceries, household goods, electronics, etc.; many zones 24/7.
- Pricing: Prime $3.99/order; non‑Prime $13.99; small‑order fee applies; Prime often undercuts competitors.
- Mechanism: network of small local fulfillment points positioned close to customers to accelerate delivery.

Why it matters: faster delivery reshapes customer expectations and intensifies competition in local logistics.

Will this affect local couriers and competitors in your region?
