SEATTLE – Amazon plans to expand Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery to tens of millions of U.S. customers in more than 4,000 smaller cities, towns, and rural communities by the end of the year. According to a recent press release, the number of items delivered the same or next day in the U.S. increased over 30% compared to the same period last year.
“Everybody loves fast delivery,” said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores. “So, whether you live in Monmouth, Iowa or in downtown Los Angeles, now you’re going to have the same fantastic Amazon customer experience: the ability to get the wide variety of items you need to keep your household running every day, delivered the same or next day.”
One of the biggest benefits of this expansion is the option for customers to shop Amazon’s everyday essentials, which encompasses a selection of affordable groceries and household goods. These items are speed-critical, and when customers need them, they often want them delivered as soon as possible.
“No one wants to wait two days to receive paper towels, diapers, or dog food when they’ve run out,” wrote company officials. “This is why Amazon has started offering a large selection of everyday essentials for Same-Day Delivery, making it easier than ever for customers in small towns and rural communities to quickly stock up on groceries and household goods without needing to make an extra trip to the store.”
