Amazon has modified its same-day delivery service, expanding the utility for Amazon Prime members. Starting today, Amazon Prime members in select areas will be able to order from a million-strong catalog, and receive free same-day delivery if the order exceeds $35. The previous $6 charge still applies to items not on the million-item list, or if the order falls beneath the $35 threshold.
The service focuses on immediate needs, like travel items, sanitary items, cabling, and batteries. After a quick perusal, some video games are on the program, but many home electronics aren’t. Unchanged is same-day delivery for all other customers not subscribed to Amazon Prime.
The new free, same-day service is available to consumers in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Indianapolis, the Los Angeles metro area, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, the San Francisco Bay area, Seattle, and the Washington, DC metro area. San Diego and Tampa Bay have been added to the same-day roundup alongside this expansion of the program.
