(NASDAQ:AMZN) – Today, Amazon launched its fastest and easiest
way to shop: Alexa voice shopping through Prime Now. Tens of
thousands of daily essentials are available for free two-hour
delivery by simply asking Alexa to order from Prime Now. Alexa can
order multiple items at once, make recommendations and will
automatically choose the next available 2-hour delivery window.
Whether customers are in the middle of a game night with friends
and family, have their hands full with a baby or are too sick to
get out of bed, Alexa makes it easy to get what they need right
away through Prime Now without taking out a phone or logging into a
computer. Just say, “Alexa, order tortilla chips from Prime Now”
and pair with salsa and a videogame or ask “Alexa, order Nyquil
from Prime Now” and add tissues and chicken noodle soup. The
customer skips a trip to the store and the items arrive within the
next available two-hour delivery window. Additionally, starting
today, customers in select cities can use Alexa to voice order cold
beer, wine and spirits from Prime Now with free two-hour delivery.
