"Amazon Now, which will make thousands of Amazon's products available for delivery within 30 minutes or less, joins Amazon's other existing fast delivery options in the United States. These include under 60-minute delivery with the company's Prime Air drone service in eight cities, the 1-hour and 3-hour delivery options in more than 2,000 locations, and same-day delivery in more than 10,000 towns and cities."
"Amazon says Now 30-minute deliveries are possible because they don't rely on the larger Amazon fulfillment centers, which are often located outside of residential and business areas. Instead, the service utilizes "a network of smaller locations designed for efficient order fulfillment, strategically placed close to where customers live and work," according to the company."
"Amazon says that in most areas where Now delivery is available, it operates 24 hours a day. What products are eligible for Amazon Now 30-minute deliveries? While 30-minute deliveries sound convenient, Amazon customers should understand that the Now delivery option is not available for every product Amazon sells."
