Amazon 30-Minute Delivery Is Now Live In Parts Of Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Amazon says its new 30-minute delivery service is now live in parts of Minneapolis as the company rolls out the ultra-fast option across the United States.

"Amazon Now" offers thousands of fresh groceries, everyday household essentials and other items that can be delivered in about 30 minutes or less, according to the company.

Customers can check whether the service is available in their area by visiting amazon.com/now or looking for the "30-Minute Delivery" option in the Amazon app or on the Amazon homepage.

Amazon said the service is already widely available in Seattle, Philadelphia, Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta, with expansion underway in dozens of other cities, including Minneapolis, Austin, Denver, Houston, Orlando, Oklahoma City, Las Vegas and Phoenix.

The company said it plans to expand Amazon Now to tens of millions of customers by the end of the year.

"Amazon Now is for when you need or want the convenience of getting your Amazon order delivered in 30 minutes or less," Udit Madan, senior vice president of Amazon Worldwide Operations, said in the announcement.

Items available through Amazon Now include:

• Groceries for dinner
• Dairy and eggs
• Fresh produce
• Bakery items
• Health products
• Baby products
• Pet items
• Personal care products
• Electronics
• Household essentials like laundry detergent and toothpaste
• Alcohol, where permitted

Prime members pay a $3.99 delivery fee per order, while customers without a Prime membership pay $13.99, according to Amazon.

Orders under $15 also carry a small-order fee of $1.99 for Prime members and $3.99 for non-Prime customers.

Amazon said the 30-minute service uses smaller fulfillment locations placed closer to where customers live and work. The company said the setup is designed to shorten delivery distances and speed up order fulfillment.

In most areas where Amazon Now is available, the service operates 24 hours a day, according to the company.

Amazon Now joins several other fast-delivery options offered by the company, including Prime Air drone delivery, 1-hour and 3-hour delivery, and Same-Day Delivery. Amazon said more than 10,000 cities and towns across the country have access to Same-Day Delivery.

Amazon said Prime members in the United States received more than 8 billion items the same day or next day in 2025, an increase of more than 30 percent compared with the year before. Groceries and everyday essentials made up about half of those items, according to the company.
