Amazon Will Bring You Booze in One Hour, Starting in Seattle
It covers fast growing categories like Home, Beauty and Fashion as well as key platforms like Amazon Logistics, Amazon Web Services and Amazon Marketplace on which an ever-increasing number of UK businesses of all sizes are enjoying significant success. An Amazon spokeswoman said the company opened two facilities in Seattle and Kirkland, Washington, to handle Prime Now deliveries.
Prime Now is Amazon’s new expedited delivery option available in parts of nine American cities that is exclusive to members of Amazon’s $99-a-year Prime shipping membership. This includes such items as paper towels, beer, ice cream and TV sets.
Amazon has launched its newest service in Seattle: one-hour booze delivery.
Customers can check and see if the Prime Now service is available at their address by entering their zip code over at Amazon, the service is already available in several cities such as Dallas, Chicago, Miami, Baltimore and many more. And it’s delayed charging customers the annual AmazonFresh fees.
Prime Now deliveries are made during specific timings and in Seattle they will be available from 8AM local time till midnight, including Sundays. Other startups, like Postmates, which focuses on meal delivery, also deliver personal care goods and alcohol for customers using a network of couriers. As in other cities, you’ll have to pay extra ($7.99) to receive a package within the hour, but if you can wait even just two hours, it’s completely free.
