Amazon starts delivering groceries to US Prime members for free and within an HOUR

US Amazon Prime members can now benefit from free grocery deliveries within 1–2 hours as the online retail firm makes Amazon Fresh a standard benefit of the subscription. The Amazon Fresh service, that previously cost an extra 14.99 a month, allows users to order from thousands of products including meats, produce and snacks. Delivery times vary based on the customer's location, with one and two-hour deliveries available in more than 2,000 cities and towns across the US. Food orders will have to be at least $35, or $50 in New York, before they qualify for free delivery. Amazon Fresh is available outside of the US -- in parts of the UK, Germany and India, for example -- but Amazon has not yet said if the benefit will be launched globally.
