Amazon.com plans to expand its same-day and next-day Prime delivery services to over 4,000 smaller cities and rural regions in the U.S. by the end of 2025.
Amazon earlier this year announced plans to spend more than $4 billion by the end of 2026 to triple the size of its rural delivery network.
The rural push comes as Amazon’s delivery speed hit record levels in both 2023 and 2024 and the number of items Amazon delivered the same or next day in the U.S. increased over 30 percent so far this year compared to the same period last year.
“Everybody loves fast delivery. So, whether you live in Monmouth, Iowa or in downtown Los Angeles, now you’re going to have the same fantastic Amazon customer experience: the ability to get the wide variety of items you need to keep your household running every day, delivered the same or next day,” said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores.
With Prime, members have access to unlimited free Same-Day Delivery when spending over $25 at checkout.
