Prime members get a slightly better price here, paying $3.99 per order, while non-Prime members have to pay $13.99. There&#8217;s also a small order fee for purchases under $15 \u2013 $1.99 for Prime members and $3.99 for everyone else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_O\">\n<p>You can order everything from fresh produce, dairy and bakery items to baby products, pet supplies, health products, personal care items, electronics and even wine in supported areas. Amazon is keeping the service running 24\/7 in most eligible areas, which means your late-night snack cravings suddenly take on dangerous new possibilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_O\">\n<p>What&#8217;s particularly interesting is how congested Amazon&#8217;s own delivery ecosystem is becoming. Customers in the US can now choose between Amazon Now&#8217;s 30-minute delivery, Prime Air drone delivery that arrives in about an hour, scheduled one-hour or three-hour delivery, and same-day shipping. At this point, Amazon is no longer competing with other retailers \u2014 it&#8217;s basically trying to beat the clock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_O\">\n<p>For now, Amazon Now is limited to select US cities, but given how aggressively Amazon is expanding the service, it probably won&#8217;t remain an exclusive for much longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_Oc e_O\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
