Amazon Prime customers in select neighborhoods of Miami and Baltimore can get their orders delivered the same day starting today through the company’s new Prime Now program. While the traditional Prime program offers two-day delivery on 20 million items, Prime Now offers two-hour delivery for no extra fee on a selection of tens of thousands of goods. One-hour delivery is available in some ZIP codes for $7.99. The expansion to Miami and Baltimore comes after Amazon introduced Prime Now in Manhattan in December and then Brooklyn in February.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
We'll be honest: advertising alone isn't enough for Vox, or most newsrooms, to do the amount of high-quality journalism that the world needs and keep it free. We count on contributor support in order to produce nuanced, clear, and optimistic journalism. We don't have a paywall or ask our readers to subscribe in order to see our content, so instead, we’re coming to you this #GivingTuesday to ask you to make an investment in our future. If you’ve read an explainer this year that helped you to see an issue more clearly, got the answer to a long-time question, or just plain learned something, then we hope you’ll consider making a contribution of $20 or whatever you can today.
