Amazon is making a big change to its fastest delivery option By Charlie Fripp, Komando.com
You may have noticed over the last few months a pop-up when using Amazonâs Prime Now app. The displayed notification would steer you towards Amazonâs main website and encourage you to do your shopping there instead of the app.

Prime Now is one of the unlucky departments being cut, with alternatives already in place. But the company is still thriving and looking to hire 75,000 more employees.

Since Amazon Prime came on to the scene in 2007, shoppers became accustomed to an online shopping experience that was nearly as irresistibly fast and convenient as walking into a brick-and-mortar store and purchasing what they wanted then and there.
With the creation of Prime Now seven years later, shoppers were able to order and receieve select essentials within a two-hour window.
Today, the online retail giant announced that it would be shuttering the Prime Now app and website by the end of the year and instead shouldering its Prime Now services under the main Amazon app and website, instead of having Prime Now exist as a standalone entity.

The company said that in India, Japan and Singapore, it has already moved the Prime Now experience onto Amazon and retired the Prime Now app and website. In the US, we began making two-hour delivery from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market available on Amazon in 2019. Globally, we ll move our third-party partners and local stores to the Amazon shopping experience before the Prime Now app and website are retired later this year, informed Stephenie Landry, vice president of grocery at Amazon.
