Amazon plans on spending $800 million in this year’s second quarter to build out the needed infrastructure. Currently, free two-day shipping is the default on Amazon Prime, but the company wants to make it one day.
The standard delivery time for your Amazon Prime orders will eventually take one day, not two.
„We’re currently working on evolving our Prime free two-day shipping program to be a free one-day shipping program,“ Amazon’s chief financial officer Brian Olsavsky said in a Thursday earnings call.
According to Olsavsky, Amazon plans on spending $800 million in this year’s second quarter to build out the infrastructure needed to make the one-day delivery times possible. Already, the company’s Amazon Prime program has been offering one-day, same-day, and two-hour shipping times, but only in certain zip codes and for a limited number of products.
