Amazon announced Tuesday that customers in select areas can now get express delivery in one to three hours for an additional fee.
The e-commerce giant noted that prime members benefit from significantly lower service costs than non-members for the express delivery option.
Members will pay $9.99 for one-hour delivery and $4.99 for the three-hour option. Meanwhile, customers without a membership will pay $19.99 for one hour of delivery and $14.99 for another three hours.
“These new delivery options save customers time by delivering choices that are often available at local high street locations directly to their doorstep,” the company said.

According to the Seattle-based company, the one-hour delivery option is already available in major US cities and towns, and the three-hour window has expanded to more than 2,000 locations.
A one-hour option is available in several large and small cities, including Los Angeles; Chicago; in Houston; Washington, DC; Nashville; Oklahoma City; Des Moines in Iowa; Boise, Idaho; and the American Fork in Utah.
The extensive three-hour delivery network includes large, medium and small cities, and surrounding areas, including Cornwall, Pennsylvania; Harrah, Oklahoma; and in Arabi, Louisiana.

Customers can find suitable items using the app’s new search filters “In 1 Hour” and “In 3 Hours”. The company’s interface and dedicated storefront also highlight items eligible for one-hour and three-hour delivery. Shoppers can also confirm what options are available in their area by visiting www.amazon.com/getitfast.
Both expedited tiers will be available on more than 90,000 products, including everyday essentials and merchandise such as pantry items, beauty products, over-the-counter medications, electronics, toys, clothing, and home and garden items.
The express delivery options are reportedly using predictive algorithms to place AI — which helps predict customer demand and strategically place products — alongside Amazon’s existing Same-Day Delivery locations, which already serve as highly efficient fulfillment hubs.
