PORTLAND, Ore. – Amazon.com has launched a service that promises one-hour delivery of household products to its ‘Prime customers’ in Manhattan.
The delivery service is now available across the whole of the New York City borough, rather than the tiny area of before, Mashable reported.
Thousands of products like paper towels, shampoo, books, toys and batteries will get delivered within 60 minutes to select areas of Manhattan, the Seattle-based online retail giant said.
The new delivery service is available to customers enrolled in Amazon Prime, a membership service that costs $99 a year. One-hour delivery costs $7.99 but the company also offers two-hour delivery for free. Prime Now is available from 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.
Amazon said it hopes to roll out one-hour delivery to more cities in 2015.
