Amazon Launches Grocery Home Delivery Service
Amazon has unveiled a grocery delivery subscription service in more than 3,500 cities and towns across the U.S. for Prime members and shoppers using EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer).
Prime members will pay $9.99 a month while those with a registered EBT card are able to access the program for $4.99 a month and do not need a Prime membership. The new service offers unlimited grocery delivery on orders of more than $35 across Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and a variety of local grocery and specialty retailers on Amazon.com, along with convenient delivery and pickup options.
The subscription includes one-hour delivery windows at no extra cost where available, unlimited 30-minute pickup on orders of any size, priority access to Recurring Reservations for a weekly grocery order, as well as unlimited delivery on order of more than $35 from local grocery and specialty retailers such as Cardenas Markets, Save Mart, Bartell Drugs, Rite Aid, Pet Food Express, and Mission Wine & Spirits.
The program was piloted with Prime memes in Columbus, Ohio; Denver, Co.; and Sacramento, Calif., in late 2023. In a recent survey of grocery subscribers from the pilot, more than 85% of respondents shared that they are extremely or very satisfied with the unlimited free delivery benefit, Amazon said.
Prime members and customers with a registered EBT card can learn more about how Amazon is making grocery shopping easier, faster, and more affordable through the grocery subscription benefit, and sign up here.
Prime members who shop at Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market can also score exclusive deals both online and in-store. Eligible Prime members can earn unlimited 5% back on their purchases when using their Prime Visa online at Amazon.com, or when shopping online or in-store at Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market.
