Moving another step closer to fulfilling the dreams of the “Now” generation, Amazon announced last week that it will be able to deliver orders within one hour in two new locations. Although some might argue that one hour is technically not “Now,” it certainly comes pretty close, considering the fact that most orders on Amazon are not for anything that couldn’t wait a day or two. Be that as it may, Amazon has already been bringing products to customers in Manhattan within the hour, and will add Miami and Baltimore to the list of “can’t wait” cities.
Amazon already promises same day delivery in nine other markets, places where they already have fulfillment centers. Piper Jaffray, the research firm, created a map to show where all the Amazon fulfillment centers are located, an indication of where the next one-hour delivery service could spring up. The same-day markets include:
• New York City
• Atlanta
• Baltimore
• Boston
• Chicago
• Indianapolis
• Philadelphia
• Washington DC
• Dallas
• Los Angeles
• Phoenix
• San Francisco
• Seattle
