Amazon has announced that it’s bringing its Prime Now on-demand service to the San Francisco Bay area, promising one-hour deliveries on everything from laptops and tablets to toilet paper and milk.
Prime Now will be available today “in most San Francisco and San Jose neighborhoods,” including Mountain View and Cupertino. Amazon says it will expand the service throughout Palo Alto and Silicon Valley over the next 24 hours.
To see if your area is covered, just enter your zip code on the Prime Now app.
One-hour delivery costs $7.99 and is available every day from 8 am to midnight. If you can afford to wait a little longer, two-hour delivery is free.
