Getting fresh groceries delivered to your doorstep has just become faster and more convenient. Amazon has expanded its same-day delivery for perishable groceries to 1,000 cities across the United States, making it easier than ever for customers to shop for fresh produce, dairy, meat, seafood, and baked goods alongside household essentials. This move is part of Amazon’s strategy to dominate the quick-commerce market, with plans to reach over 2,300 cities by the end of the year.

Fresh Groceries Delivered the Same Day
Amazon’s same-day delivery service now includes a wide range of fresh grocery items such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, bread, and meat. Customers can shop for these items along with everyday products like cleaning supplies, electronics, and personal care items—all in a single order. The company has invested in a specialized temperature-controlled fulfillment network to maintain the freshness of perishable items. Orders undergo a detailed six-point quality check to ensure that products arrive in perfect condition, and temperature-sensitive goods are packaged in insulated bags to keep them fresh until they reach your home.
Affordable Convenience for Prime Members and Non-Members
For Amazon Prime members, same-day delivery for perishable groceries is free for orders over $25. If your order is below this threshold, a small $2.99 delivery fee applies. Non-Prime customers can also use the service for a $12.99 fee per order, regardless of size. This flexible pricing structure means that both frequent online shoppers and occasional customers can enjoy the benefits of fast grocery delivery without compromising on freshness or quality.
Rising Demand for Quick Grocery Delivery
The addition of fresh groceries to same-day delivery reflects a growing demand for faster, more convenient shopping options. In early test cities like Phoenix, Orlando, and Kansas City, customers quickly embraced the service. Popular items such as strawberries, Honeycrisp apples, limes, and avocados are now among the top-selling products in Amazon’s same-day carts. With consumers increasingly valuing time and convenience, this expansion positions Amazon as a key competitor in the quick-commerce grocery market—meeting shoppers’ needs with speed, reliability, and freshness.
What This Means for Shoppers Nationwide
This nationwide expansion of same-day perishable grocery delivery offers a new level of convenience for busy households, professionals, and anyone looking to avoid the hassle of grocery store trips. By combining fresh food with everyday items in one order, Amazon is streamlining the shopping process while ensuring quality through careful handling and specialized packaging. With plans to reach thousands more cities by year’s end, shoppers can expect same-day grocery delivery to become an everyday reality across the U.S., bringing the supermarket right to their front door.
