Amazon has come to save the day! We won’t have to leave our houses to try to make it to our local ABC store before they close anymore. Beer, wine, and spirits can now be shipped to our front doors…and in an hour!
Here are the details via Huff Post:
Amazon.com Inc said on Tuesday it will begin delivering wine, beer and spirits to U.S. customers for the first time as part of its speedy delivery service, Prime Now.
The online retailer is expanding Prime Now, its one- and two-hour service, to Seattle, where the company is headquartered, and offering alcohol deliveries there.
Amazon Prime, the company’s $99 per year shopping membership program, offers free two-day delivery on millions of items. It is a key testing ground for the retailer’s new services, ranging from TV and on-demand video to fast delivery.
The company will start the alcohol delivery in Seattle with hopes of spreading throughout the rest of the country. There’s a lot of people who hate going to the ABC store, standing in line, and rushing to make it there before they close so I’m sure Amazon will stand to make LOTS of money.
