Amazon announced Wednesday it is expanding its same-day delivery service to include thousands of perishable food items, marking the retail giant's latest move to compete with delivery options available through Walmart+ and Instacart.
Shoppers in more than 1,000 cities and towns across the U.S. can now include fresh groceries — like dairy, produce, seafood, frozen foods, baked goods and meat — in their same-day delivery orders, according to a news release from Amazon.
This covers cities like Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Columbus, Ohio; and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Prime members — who pay $14.99 a month or $139 annually — can use the service for free on orders over $25 in most cities. Non-Prime shoppers can access the service for a fee of $12.99, no matter the order size, according to Amazo
