Amazon will soon offer same-day delivery to its Prime customers in Toronto and Vancouver on orders of more than C$25 (about US$19), CBC News reported, noting that although the service has been available in the U.S., the online retailer "is rolling it out in Canada for the first time ahead of the busy holiday shopping season."
Same-day delivery will be available for non-Prime customers as well for $11.99 per order (or $1.99 per pound for heavy items). Not everything Amazon sells is eligible for same-day delivery. Amazon said one million items are included in the Toronto-area market and 700,000 items for customers near Vancouver.
