NEWS: Amazon, Your New Grocer?
Looking for an alternative to hauling heavy groceries or more convenience in shopping?
Check out Amazon.com’s same-day delivery service, Amazon Prime Pantry. Amazon Prime members living in the 48 contiguous states can ship 45 pounds’ worth of grocery store items—in “everyday sizes,” not bulk—for a flat fee of $6. (That’s on top of the Amazon Prime membership fee.) For that, you can conveniently order food and beverages, household supplies, personal care items and pet goods. There’s also a gadget called Dash that allows you to order groceries via remote control. The company previously launched Amazon Fresh, a same-to-next-day delivery service, in certain cities. |
