Amazon Launches 1-Hour Delivery But the Fees Are Outrageous



The world’s largest online retailer will deliver to your door within one hour, but it will cost you a bundle. Prime members pay an additional $9.99 fee per order for 1-hour delivery, while those without a Prime membership will have to fork over $19.99 per order. Amazon has also launched a 3-hour delivery, which is $4.99 per order for Prime members and $14.99 for those without Prime. More than 90,000 products are available for 1-hour delivery, including household essentials (cleaning supplies, paper towels), health and beauty items, over-the-counter medications, electronics, toys, and pantry staples. The company says reorganizing its U.S. delivery network and integrating AI technology has helped to reduce delivery times. You can check if your area is eligible by visiting Amazon's Get It Fast page or using the dedicated search filters on the Amazon app.
