SEATTLE, Wash. (WDNews) – Amazon has expanded its Same-Day Delivery service to include thousands of fresh grocery items—such as produce, meat, seafood, dairy, baked goods, and frozen foods—alongside millions of other products, with delivery in hours.
The service now reaches more than 1,000 U.S. cities and towns, with plans to expand to over 2,300 by the end of 2025. Prime members receive free Same-Day Delivery on orders over $25, while non-Prime customers can use the service for $12.99 per order.
Amazon says early launches in select markets showed strong customer adoption, with many first-time grocery buyers returning twice as often for fresh food orders. Top perishable items include strawberries, bananas, Honeycrisp apples, limes, and avocados.
Orders are fulfilled through a temperature-controlled network with a six-point quality check to ensure freshness. Items are delivered in insulated, recyclable bags similar to those used for Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market orders.
The move builds on Amazon’s grocery presence, which includes Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and partnerships with local retailers. The company says the expansion is part of its commitment to making grocery shopping “simpler, faster, and more affordable.”
