Your Amazon packages will soon be delivered even faster.
The retail giant is launching one-hour delivery in hundreds of locations across the U.S., and three-hour delivery in over 2,000 locations, the company announced Tuesday.
Customers can shop over 90,000 products typically found at a local supercenter, and receive household essentials ranging from pantry items, cleaning supplies, health and beauty items, over-the-counter medications and more — all within a matter of hours.
More popular items from electronics, clothing and accessories can also be delivered under the speedy new deal.
The one-hour delivery option costs $9.99 for Amazon Prime members and $19.99 for non-members. Three-hour delivery is priced at $4.99 and $14.99, respectively.
Shoppers in hundreds of cities and towns across the U.S. are eligible for the one-hour delivery option.
Meanwhile, the three-hour option will have an even larger reach, with the deal being offered in over 2,000 cities and towns, spanning from large to small municipalities.
The new delivery options are available seven days a week, and Amazon says it plans to roll out express deliveries in even more areas within the coming months.
The Seattle-based retailer said it started testing the new delivery options last year and was expanding them this month.
“We’re excited to say that two decades after Prime first launched, we’re still innovating to make delivery even faster, while maintaining the same everyday low prices and vast selection Amazon is known for,” said Udit Madan, the senior vice president of Worldwide Operations at Amazon.
Amazon launched the Prime program in 2005, offering two-day shipping on over a million items.
The company has since expedited its shipping, offering one-day and same-day options in addition to the new same-day shipping. Customers now have access to over 300 million items, with tens of millions of products available for free same-day or next-day deliveries.
The company is also currently testing Amazon Now, which offers ultra-fast deliveries in about 30 minutes or less.
Amazon Now is currently available in parts of India, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates.
