In Phoenix, and a handful of other cities across the U.S., select Amazon customers can now receive deliveries in under 30 minutes.
The fast delivery is made possible by what’s called “flex centers.”
According to Amazon senior communications manager Lindsay Hamilton, these facilities will be located closer to customers and businesses and only stocked with high-priority items, such as fresh groceries and "over-the-counter medication, diapers. You know we’ve seen people ordering children’s cold medicine … the kind of thing where you might not be able to leave the house but if your kid needs it you want it now."
Amazon Now, as the service is called, promises deliveries in under 30 minutes.
