Amazon Pushes 30-Minute Delivery to Dozens of U.S. Cities

Amazon has launched Amazon Now, delivering groceries and essentials in 30 minutes across Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Philadelphia, and Seattle, with rapid expansion to Austin, Houston, Minneapolis, and five other cities planned. The service relies on micro-fulfillment hubs positioned near customers and charges a premium fee. It represents Amazon's most aggressive bet on sub-hour logistics to date.
