发帖数: 1619 | 1 Amazon has just launched Prime Now, a one-hour delivery option for Amazon
Prime members in NYC. The service will debut in Manhattan beginning today,
and should roll out to additional cities through 2015. It covers tens of
thousands of what Amazon calls “essential” products, including things like
paper towels, batteries, toys and books.
The local one-hour delivery is a service that Amazon arguably has to offer
in order to stay competitive with the growing number of startup services
offering similar benefits, including trials from larger companies like Uber.
The local delivery business has ensured that especially in hubs like NYC,
buyers have options that generally undercut Amazon’s standard delivery
rates in terms of expediency for certain staple items.
Amazon’s offering is launching in select areas of Manhattan today, and will
be accessible via a dedicated Prime Now app for iOS and Android. The app
will also be able to alert Prime members when the service rolls out in their
area, and Prime Now will provide deliveries between 6 A.M. and midnight,
seven days a week. One-hour delivery is $7.99 on any item, but two-hour
delivery is completely free (again, as long as you’re a Prime subscriber).
Amazon’s Prime push has seen the company add a lot to membership benefits
in 2015, alongside a price hike earlier in the year. Prime membership now
also provides access to a streaming music service, unlimited photo storage,
4K Instant Video streaming and more. | B*********a
