Have you heard the news? Amazon is expanding its ultra-fast delivery option called Amazon Now, and in select cities, you can get items delivered in as little as 30 minutes!

Amazon Now 30-minute delivery is currently available in cities like Atlanta, Dallas–Fort Worth, Philadelphia, and Seattle. Amazon also plans to expand to additional cities, including Austin, Houston, Minneapolis, Orlando, Phoenix, Denver, and Oklahoma City.

In many locations, the service runs around the clock and covers a wide range of everyday essentials. Think groceries, snacks, baby items, pet supplies, cleaning products, and even some over-the-counter basics. In certain areas where permitted, alcohol may also be available. Eligible items are marked with the “30-Minute Delivery” option.

How do you use Amazon Now?

Just shop on Amazon as usual, add eligible items to your cart, and choose the “30-Minute Delivery” option at checkout. Orders are fulfilled locally and delivered based on availability in your area. Not all ZIP codes or items will qualify yet as the program continues to expand.
