Amazon today launched Prime Now one-hour delivery services throughout most of the Houston area.
Amazon Prime members now can get one-hour delivery of thousands of items via the Amazon website or an app. Prime Now is currently available in 15 cities.
The service is available from 8 a.m. to midnight daily, seven days a week, so those desperately needing a new book or a HMDI cable overnight will have to sit tight.
One-hour service costs users $7.99 per purchase. Two-hour service is free, so it pays to be patient it seems.
Amazon reps say that “tens of thousands” of items are available via Prime Now, each delivered by a team dedicated solely to deliveries.
