Amazon Expands Same Day Delivery in Washington, Philadelphia, New York City, Dallas and Indianapolis metro areas.

The Baltimore Sun reports:
Amazon is expanding same-day delivery service in the Baltimore area and five other metropolitan areas, the online retailer said Wednesday.

Through "Get It Today," customers can order from more than a million eligible items as late as noon, seven days a week, for home delivery the same day.

The service, launched Wednesday, is being expanded as well in the Washington, Philadelphia, New York City, Dallas and Indianapolis metro areas.


Available items include movies, video games and back-to-school supplies -- look for the "Get It Today" filter on the left navigation panel on Amazon's website. Or if you can wait until tomorrow, click on the "Get it by Tomorrow" filter, for next-day items.

The Seattle-based online giant has been building more distribution centers as it aims to move closer to customers and become more competitive with deliveries.


Competition.
