Instant Pickup enables Prime and Prime Student
members to order and receive items in-store in under two
minutes
(NASDAQ: AMZN) — Amazon today introduced Instant Pickup, a free
service offering Prime and Prime Student members a curated
selection of daily essentials available for pickup in two minutes
or less at five of Amazon’s fully staffed pickup locations in Los
Angeles, Atlanta, Berkeley, Calif., Columbus, Ohio, and College
Park, Md. Items available with Instant Pickup include snacks,
drinks and electronics, as well as some of Amazon’s most popular
devices.
“Instant Pickup is another way Amazon is making life more
convenient for Prime members,” said Ripley MacDonald, Director,
Student Programs, Amazon. “As shopping behaviors continue to
evolve, customers consistently tell us that they want items even
faster. Whether it’s a snack on-the-go, replacing a lost phone
charger in the middle of a hectic day or adding Alexa to your life
with an Echo, Instant Pickup saves Prime members time. While
Instant Pickup is available at select pickup locations today, we’re
excited about bringing this experience to more customers soon.”
With Instant Pickup, Prime and Prime Student members can use the
Amazon App to shop hundreds of need-it-now items like food, cold
drinks, personal care items, technology essentials and Amazon
devices like the Echo, Echo Dot, Fire TV and a selection of Fire
tablets and Kindle e-readers. Prime members can browse the
selection, place an order, even add last-minute items to an online
order and pick it up from a self-service locker – all within two
minutes or less.
Instant Pickup is available at five select pickup locations
beginning today and will be available at more locations in the
coming months. Amazon operates a total of 22 staffed pickup
locations on or near college campuses across the country. All
Amazon customers can ship their orders to a pickup location, and
Prime members receive Free Same-Day and One-Day delivery on
millions of items. Plus, returns are always free.
