At the tail end of 2014 Amazon launched a service called Prime Now. It began in Manhattan and gave residents of specific zip codes the ability to order select products directly from Amazon and have them delivered with-in an hour of the order. Since its launch the service has expanded to various other parts of the US including Miami Florida and Dallas Texas. Today Amazon has announced that they are opening up the Prime Now services to four new locations in Washington with the addition of Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland.
“Prime Now is our fastest delivery option ever. With Prime Now, you can skip a trip to the store and get the items you need delivered right to your door in under an hour,” said Stephenie Landry, director of Amazon’s Prime Now service. “Customers love the convenience of one-hour delivery and we’re excited to bring Prime Now to our hometown customers in Seattle and surrounding areas.”
Here are the newly added zip codes that fall within the Prime Now coverage area:
98004, 98005, 98006, 98007, 98008, 98015, 98027, 98033, 98034, 98039, 98040, 98052, 98073, 98083, 98101, 98102, 98103, 98104, 98105, 98107, 98109, 98111, 98112, 98113, 98114, 98115, 98117, 98119, 98121, 98122, 98127, 98139, 98154, 98161, 98164, 98165, 98175, 98181, 98194, 98195.
Prime Now will deliver to consumers between 8 a.m. and midnight 7 days a week. As a Prime member you get 2 hour deliver for free, but if you want that extra fast 1 hour delivery option you can expect to pony up $7.99. I would leave that to the items you desperately need, or at least on an order that warrants the $8.00.
You do need to be an Amazon Prime member before you can even think about placing those free 2 hour delivery orders. You will also need the Amazon Prime Now installed to you Android or iOS device.
Additional details about Prime Now can be found on the services landing page.
