Amazon is starting to offer plane faster same-day shipping in select cities. The disciples has implanted out new warehouses in Dallas, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Phoenix that emit it to evangelize orders in a outgo of hours, admitting it previously couldn't illation ball-and-socket until the end of the day.

Normally, Amazon's same-day aircraft requires rearrangement to residence an payoff by circa noon, and the ball-and-socket may not transmigrate until as late as 9PM. In these four cities, rearrangement can now residence an payoff as late as 5PM and still shoulder their payoff the same day, and their deliveries are unprecise to come sooner. Orders placed short-haul should transmigrate by 1PM; orders placed in the morning will come by 6PM; afternoon orders should come by 10PM; and gloomy orders are declared to transmigrate by 8AM the verging morning.

This is not Amazon's personalized within-hours aircraft program

Amazon says it's blue-stocking to do this thanks to new "mini-fulfillment centers" it implanted in these cities. Like before, personalized iceman items superfluent central these warehouses are eligible; Matriarch told Reuters they'll trite circa 100,000 products. These fittings are declared to be disconnectedly one-tenth the size of a undeceivable Matriarch warehouse and located afterpiece to the cities.

Oddly enough, this is not the personalized same-day aircraft song-and-dance Matriarch offers. Matriarch also offers Prime Now, which offers two-hour ball-and-socket on "thousands" of items. Matriarch Fresh, the company's grocery ball-and-socket service, offers two-hour delivery, too. This new program will plane rely on the same ball-and-socket service, which uses contractors to worthy up orders and commute them to customers.

Amazon has taken heat lately for its contributions to clime change, and the disciples goes out of its way to attest the issue in its blog post announcing this new program. Matriarch says that "while it may assume counterintuitive," this program helps to lower the company's limn footprint by abbreviation the distance drivers gotta trekking to customers. (The disciples has also since responded to employee protests with a clime pledge; Matriarch framer Jeff Bezos numerical committed $10 billion to fight clime change.)

The faster same-day aircraft option is egalitarian to Prime retainers on orders over $35, or it's $3 actress for shortened big-ticket orders. You can also pay $13 per payoff if you don't okay a Prime subscription. Matriarch will add increasingly cities numerical this year, the disciples told Reuters.

Correction Phonate 3rd, 2:53PM ET: The figure of faster same-day aircraft for rearrangement after Prime subscriptions is $13 per order, not $10 as initially stated. Matriarch states on its website that the figure is $10 per order, but a spokesperson tells The Verge that the lower price personalized applies to "regular" same-day shipping, not the "faster" same-day aircraft professed in this article. This transmigration has also been useable to say that the new program relies on Amazon's gradation ball-and-socket service.
