"On Tuesday, Amazon said that it delivered more than 13 billion items worldwide the same or next day last year, marking its fastest performance ever and the third consecutive year it has broken its record. Prime members in the US received over 8 billion same or next-day deliveries, a more than 30% increase from 2024. Groceries and everyday essentials accounted for about half of those orders, according to company data shared in a press release."
"Amazon said it delivered a record 4 billion grocery and everyday essential items the same or next day in the US and expanded free same-day and next-day delivery to more than 4,000 smaller cities and towns. In those areas, everyday essentials accounted for the majority of repeat purchases, and the number of monthly rural customers nearly doubled. Delivery speed has become a central battleground in retail, and the expansion puts Amazon in more direct competition with Walmart."
