Prime members across 50 cities can enjoy free delivery of thousands of items in less than 4 hours, across categories
Amazon first introduced Same-Day Delivery in India in
2017. With the growth of its One-Day and Same-Day networks, Amazon has
continued to invest in speed to enable fast, reliable and
convenient delivery options for
customers. To ensure swift delivery, specialized buildings that
fulfill these orders are strategically located to cover different parts of the
city. These specialized buildings are optimized for faster click-to-delivery
speeds and are located closer to customers. These new facilities are located at
the heart of the cities they serve, which decreases the overall distance the
package has to travel to reach the customer’s location.
“We’re always
innovating to bring our customers new levels of convenience and delivery
options that work best for them; making Same-Day Delivery, within hours the
latest example of delivery innovations that give customers more choice, speed
and convenience. We are especially excited to introduce this in cities and
towns beyond metros, which are under served in terms of speed of delivery. We’re
able to do so by storing the needed items in specialized buildings closer to
customer location and enabling our delivery network to be in close proximity to
customers and Prime members. Same-Day
Delivery also provides great job opportunities for associates, especially
since the site locations are within the city” said Abhinav
Singh, Director, Customer Fulfilment, Supply Chain & Amazon Transportation
Services, Amazon India.
Amazon India delivers to all 100% serviceable pin
codes, with more than 97% pin codes now being able to receive their deliveries
within 2 days of placing an order. The company has continued to invest in speed
for Prime members with expansion of its Free One-day and Same-Day Delivery
network. The company has also
further strengthened its ability to deliver with speed, with a 2X year on year
increase in its Same-Day delivery service scale up from last year for all
customers. In 2021, the company also announced the launch of Amazon Day, giving
Prime members the option of choosing a day to have their items delivered each
week. Customers simply make purchases throughout the week which are then
grouped and delivered together. For easy accessibility
and better convenience customers also have the option to pick up their packages
from designated ‘pick up points’. Customers can select these points as a
pick-up location on the checkout page of their order while shopping on
Amazon.in.
