Dave Clarke, senior vice president of worldwide operations, emphasized how convenient this service will be for Prime members. "There are times when you can't make it to the store and other times when you simply don't want to go," said Clarke in a company statement.
There is a catch, though.
The company's one-hour delivery service will come with a $7.99 price tag. Nevertheless, Amazon will also offer Prime users a free, two-hour delivery service.
