After early success in Manhattan, Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN 0.51% announced that it will be expanding its Prime Now one-hour delivery service to Baltimore and Miami.
Amazon Prime members can use Prime Now to get daily essential items delivered to their doorsteps within 60 minutes using the Prime Now mobile app.
Eliminate The Daily Store Trip
Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations, encourages Prime users to use Prime Now instead of making daily trips to the store for household items
. “Since launching, we’ve seen high demand on everything from essentials like water and paper towels to more surprising deliveries like getting a customer a hard-to-find, top-selling toy in 23 minutes—we are excited to continue delivering to customers in record-breaking time,” Clark added.
Eligible Locations
According to Amazon, Prime Now is launching today in select zip codes in Baltimore and Miami, but will soon be expanding in both locations. Prime Now is available from 8 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week in eligible zip codes.
Two-hour delivery is free for Prime members, and one-hour delivery costs $7.99. Residents of Baltimore and Miami can download the Prime Now app on their phones, and they will be notified when the delivery service becomes available in their zip codes.
Prime Benefits
Amazon already has tens of millions of Prime members worldwide. In the U.S., Prime membership benefits include unlimited free two-day shipping on eligible items, access to Prime Instant Video streaming service and unlimited photo storage on Amazon’s Cloud Drive. Prime membership costs $99 per year.

Want to learn more about the stock market? Or maybe you just want to be able to look sophisticated in front of your coworkers when they ask you what you are reading on your Kindle, and you’d prefer to tell them “Oh, I’m just reading a book about stock market analysis,” rather than the usual “Oh, I’m just looking at pics of my ex-girlfriend on Facebook.” For these reasons and more, check out my book, Beating Wall Street with Common Sense. I don’t have a degree in finance; I have a degree in neuroscience. You don’t have to predict what stocks will do if you can predict what traders will do and be one step ahead of them. I made a 400% return in the stock market over five years using only basic principles of psychology and common sense. Beating Wall Street with Common Sense is now available on Amazon, and tradingcommonsense.com is always available on your local internet!
