We’ve all been there: You need something at this exact moment—maybe toilet paper, staples, or ibuprofen—but you also can’t be bothered to run out to the local store for it.

Enter Amazon’s newest solution: 1-hour and 3-hour delivery.

It sounds good until you see the final bill. Here’s what you need to know.

Amazon announces new 1-hour and 3-hour deliveries

Today, Amazon announced that it will offer new 1-hour and 3-hour delivery options for 90,000 products, including everyday essentials such as health and beauty items, cleaning products, over-the-counter medications, and more.

The new super-quick delivery windows won’t be available to every Amazon customer in America.

Instead, the 1-hour and 3-hour delivery options will be limited to customers in over 2,000 cities and towns across the country.

Amazon says you can check the availability of 1-hour and 3-hour delivery options in your area via this link: www.amazon.com/getitfast.
