Amazon has introduced Prime Now, the company’s new one-hour delivery service for the US so that you can order “tens of thousands” of “daily essentials” such as paper towels, shampoo, books, toys, batteries and more for immediate delivery. Prime Now is currently available in select areas of Manhattan and is available from 6AM to midnight, seven days a week. You can download the iOS or Android app and select the fastest one-hour delivery option for $7.99 per order. Two-hour deliveries are free for Prime members.

Commenting on the new Prime Now service, Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations, said:
There are times when you can’t make it to the store and other times when you simply don’t want to go. There are so many reasons to skip the trip and now Prime members in Manhattan can get the items they need delivered in an hour or less. We’ve long felt that Amazon Prime is the best deal in the history of shopping and now it has gotten even better. Prime members in Manhattan are going to love this service and we cannot wait to roll out Prime Now to additional cities in 2015.
Amazon already offers free two-day shipping in several countries and is introduced one-day delivery in India last year. It plans to expand Prime Now to additional cities in the US in 2015.
