The move builds on Amazon’s long-term strategy to shorten delivery times, from two-day shipping under Prime to same-day services. The report said the company has been testing faster options, including 30-minute deliveries and drone-based logistics.
Amazon executives said the expansion is aimed at saving time for increasingly busy consumers. The service includes added fees, with Prime members paying lower rates.
The rollout comes as rivals like Walmart and delivery platforms intensify competition, offering rapid fulfillment through physical stores and gig-based networks.
