Amazon Now expands 30-minute delivery to dozens of US cities

Amazon has expanded its ultra-fast delivery service, Amazon Now, to dozens of US cities, promising groceries and household essentials within 30 minutes.

Amazon Now utilizes a network of smaller, strategically placed fulfillment centers to ensure rapid delivery times and competes with similar offerings from companies like Walmart. AI
