SEATTLE — Amazon Business is bringing Same-Day Delivery of fresh, perishable groceries to business customers across the country, answering one of its customers' top requests. Businesses of every kind—from offices and schools to gyms and salons—regularly need fresh food to serve their employees, customers, and guests. In more than 2,300 cities and towns across the U.S., thousands of fresh grocery items—including dairy, produce, baked goods, and frozen foods from national and local brands—are now available alongside the millions of items already available on Amazon Business.
Following strong customer response to Amazon's consumer fresh grocery delivery, Amazon Business is now bringing the same convenience to business customers. As the second-largest grocer in the U.S. with over $150 billion in gross sales, Amazon has built a grocery business that combines wide selection, consistently low everyday prices, and fast delivery. Now, business customers can enjoy an all-in-one ordering experience for their wide-ranging business needs, whether it's bagels for a client meeting, milk and cream to keep the coffee bar stocked, or fresh fruit for a board meeting. As business customers look to simplify their buying, Amazon Business is focused on offering a wide selection of national and local brands, including organic and natural options, at an incredible value.
“We’re continuously innovating to make business buying simpler, faster, and more cost-effective for our customers,” said Shelley Salomon, VP Amazon Business. “Our customers have been asking for an easier way to order fresh groceries alongside the everyday business essentials they rely on to run their operations. By adding fresh groceries to the already expansive selection Amazon Business offers, organizations can now combine items like copy paper and printer ink with milk, fruit, and other breakroom staples—check out with a single cart, and have everything delivered to their workplace within hours.”
Orders are delivered within set delivery hours and preferences. At checkout, customers can select delivery windows that align with their business operating hours, ensuring fresh groceries arrive when they are available to receive and store perishable items properly.
Amazon Business leverages Amazon's specialized temperature-controlled fulfillment network to ensure businesses receive fresh, high-quality perishable items. Every item undergoes a six-point quality check upon arrival and before delivery, giving business customers confidence in the fresh food they're ordering online. Plus, if perishable groceries displaying Amazon’s Freshness Guarantee badge do not arrive as expected, Amazon will make it right – providing an additional layer of confidence.
For Business Prime members, Same-Day Delivery is free for orders over $25 in most areas. If an order doesn’t meet the minimum, members can still choose Same-Day Delivery for a $2.99 fee. For customers without a Prime membership, the service is available with a $12.99 fee, regardless of order size.
