Do they deliver beer?

2/4/2016 9:58:52 AM

^^^ You can call robots to help you.

2/4/2016 10:01:42 AM

I've tested the service out in Baltimore and it's great. So glad we have it now.

<3 Amazon

2/4/2016 10:44:04 AM

What are you ordering that you need within the hour? 99% of the stuff I buy on Amazon I don't need immediately.

2/4/2016 11:00:46 AM

"need"

2/4/2016 11:02:13 AM

I need everything I buy.

2/4/2016 11:09:46 AM

^^^ you can basically use it to grocery shop. Place a small order before you leave work and have the guy with your groceries meet you at your house. Or if you just want to be lazy as hell and not leave the house

2/4/2016 11:13:16 AM

Do they offer incalls too?

2/4/2016 11:16:46 AM

I ran out of dog food today, and instead of stopping at the store just for dog food I'm gonna use this to get it dropped at the house, plus $10 off the first order

Agreed 100%

Is there any way we can pay to make deliveries take longer?

2/4/2016 11:43:41 AM

1. Take a shit
2. Realize you're out of TP
3. Order some thru Amazon
4. Chill on toilet till it arrives
5. Wipe

2/4/2016 11:59:56 AM

drivers expect a tip but cant be in cash from what ive read. Im gonna try this out for sure with some groceries at least.

2/4/2016 12:04:36 PM

I'm tempted to order $20 of mac and cheese

2/4/2016 12:05:35 PM

Already got my order in there. Will be there 4-6 PM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Drizly should be on its way any day now!

No but you can get paid (in Amazon credit) for not taking advantage of prime 2 day shipping and instead using standard delivery.

2/4/2016 12:33:16 PM

^jah. I use that all the time for purchases I make to send to others.

which can only be used for "eBooks, digital music, videos, apps, video games, and software" and expires in 3 months. I guess I could use it for android apps or something...

2/4/2016 12:39:39 PM

Glad that we have it, but they need to do the whole 1-hour food delivery service that most of the bigger cities with Amazon Now offer.

I need to be able to order to-go from places that don't deliver and get it brought to me from anywhere in Raleigh within the hour. THAT is a service I would use regularly, haha.

2/4/2016 12:47:54 PM

I've used the food service too, I liked it. One thing I did notice was that 1 hour delivery was rarely available.

2/4/2016 12:55:28 PM

^damn that sounds fucking terrible

^^^ does audible count as ebooks? I'm assuming no

[Edited on February 4, 2016 at 1:12 PM. Reason : ]

2/4/2016 1:11:59 PM

That is in B-mo though, I don't know how its going to be here. Overall, you can't complain haha, just a new feat of laziness. However when it comes to food there are lots of crazy good choices, for example I had some banging Afghan food I would have never thought to try and it was off the chain.

And just to be clear I'm talking about the 1-hour delivery for products from Amazon, not the food. Food is always there in 45 mins - 1 hour.

I was being unnecessarily facetious

2/4/2016 1:22:36 PM

Oh, you didn't approve that message so I didn't really know if it were really you or not.

2/4/2016 1:25:17 PM

I imagine that it's a limited selection of things, right?

2/4/2016 1:27:34 PM

^ pretty good selection from what i saw earlier

2/4/2016 1:29:14 PM

^^yes, there is a separate app you can get that shows only products offered for the same day delivery, but like ^ said it is still a pretty big selection

2/4/2016 1:33:35 PM

Is this app only?

2/4/2016 1:33:39 PM

1. Take a shit
2. Realize you're out of TP
3. Order some thru Amazon
4. Chill on toilet till it arrives
4a. Waddle to the door
4b. Be ashamed that you answered the door with shit on yo ass crack.
5. Wipe

2/4/2016 1:39:54 PM

4aa. Answer the door with a gun because you value your family's saftey

[Edited on February 4, 2016 at 1:53 PM. Reason : haha i can't spell]

2/4/2016 1:43:47 PM

I placed an order before lunch for a Hulkbuster Disney Infinity figure and a miniature LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set. I got the order shortly after I got back from lunch.

There's a $20 minimum and a tip line at checkout.

2/4/2016 1:53:11 PM

i hate tipping before delivery

2/4/2016 2:17:32 PM

First available delivery time: 8AM-10AM (Friday)

2/4/2016 2:18:25 PM

Maybe they underestimated demand, time to hire more drivers

2/4/2016 2:34:13 PM

I mean they should expect a flood of people at first as this gets passed around the internet. It will stabilize out as time goes by Id imagine.

2/4/2016 2:42:44 PM

Yeah, once it settles down a 2-3 hour lead time is still great.

Here's hoping some decent restaurants sign up with them soon.

[Edited on February 4, 2016 at 2:47 PM. Reason : c]

2/4/2016 2:46:50 PM

Just so y'all know if there is anything in your order perishable they will not leave it at the door from my experience. They will even cancel your order if you are not there.

2/4/2016 2:47:38 PM

Guy on reddit that says he's a driver said there are roughly 25 atm, if it's popular I can't see that being close to enough for the area. Especially since they work like an uber driver and aren't full time

2/4/2016 3:08:35 PM

So I can't even order beer with this? That's a shame.

2/4/2016 3:08:35 PM

as someone who has fucked their knee all to hell, this is EXTREMELY convenient for my life right now

bring me my groceries bitch

Yeah, this is a great day for weirdos with no real friends.

2/4/2016 3:24:50 PM

Also great for older people who shouldn't be driving anyways.

Neither of those deliver to North Raleigh it seems.

i was excited that it was free 2-hr shipping until i realized they expect a tip

2/4/2016 4:08:18 PM

Nicolas is headed my way with my order.

2/4/2016 4:15:12 PM

Does this work with dominos?
