Amazon, in pursuit of taking my money in new and creative ways, has announced that local delivery is now available in DC & Baltimore. I got this email from them today:
As an Amazon Prime member who recently shipped an order to Boston, Washington, D.C., or Baltimore, you might be interested in a new service that we’ve recently expanded to all three cities–same-day delivery through Local Express Delivery. Thousands of items are available. Just order before 9:15 a.m. eastern to ship to a qualifying address, choose Local Express Delivery, and your package will be delivered by 8:00 p.m. that evening.
So, if you get up in time for early coffee, you can have something shiny and new (with some exceptions…) by the time dinner’s done. Of course, you’d better be willing to part with some serious bucks to do it. Check out the list of prices for various departments which range from $6 to $19 for delivery, PLUS a per-pound cost, but if you really miss the days of Kozmo.com, and you’re willing to distort your memory about delivery times, this might be the thing for you.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
