Online retailer Amazon says beginning Wednesday, shoppers in the Columbus area can get packages delivered in as little as one hour.
The service known as Amazon Prime Now is only available to Amazon Prime customers, who pay a $99 annual membership fee.
Under Prime Now, two-hour shipping is free for Prime customers, and one-hour shipping costs $7.99.
Not all Amazon items are available for Prime Now shipping.
The move follows Amazon’s opening of distribution and data centers in Central Ohio.
Doug Buchanan, Managing editor-digital Columbus Business First wrote about Prime Now in today's edition. He talked with 89.7 NPR News' Marilyn Smith. You can listen to their conversation here.
