The expansion will see delivery services on the same day and the next day to customers in more than 4,000 smaller US cities, cities and rural areas by the end of 2025.
Amazon says this will expand the range to “tens of thousands of millions” of customers and will transform the daily life of rural areas “, which often have limited product choices due to living further away from the stores, as well as for limited delivery options when shopping online.
The company notes that it is also expanding the amount of important daily products available for delivery of the same day, covers household items, cleaning supplies, vitamins and medicines and food.
There is no change in Prime’s pricing – Members still need to spend over $ 25 at checkout to access unlimited free delivery the same day.
“Everyone loves fast delivery. So whether you live in Monmouth, Iowa or in the center of Los Angele, now you need the same amazing Amazon customer experience: The ability to get the big range of items you need to keep your household running every day, delivered the same or the next day,” said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores.
The news comes shortly after Amazon revealed plans to spend $ 4 billion by the end of 2026 to expand its delivery network in rural areas in the United States.
This will see that it adds over 200 additional delivery stations to its network and claims to support more than 100,000 full and part-time jobs both on the road and in stock.
This will include Amazon’s own network as well as schemes such as its Delivery Service Partner Program, Amazon Flex and Hub Delivery, which enables small businesses and members of the community to offer their support.
With the expansion, Amazon hopes to improve delivery speeds by up to 50% in rural areas.
