Amazon recently announced the availability of Amazon Prime Now, a one-hour delivery service in Austin. Available for select zip codes, the shipping giant says many Austin residents can now “get one or two-hour delivery on tens of thousands of daily essentials, gifts and more.”
Prime Now shipping is available to all Amazon Prime members. The membership runs about $100 a year. For Prime Now items, two-hour delivery is free and one-hour delivery will incur an extra charge of $7.99. For items available in Prime but not Prime Now, two-day shipping is free. The service is available seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to midnight.
