Amazon Mexico Launches ‘Amazon Now’ With 15-Minute Delivery Through Rappi

Prime members receive free ultrafast delivery during rollout, with restaurant ordering now available inside Amazon’s storefront.

Overview

  • The service debuts with roughly 5,000 items for rapid delivery, including groceries, fresh and frozen foods, over‑the‑counter medicines, pet supplies, home goods and select electronics.
  • Amazon Now is live in 10 cities including Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, with availability limited by postal code.
  • During the initial phase, Prime members get no delivery fee, while other customers pay 53.33 pesos per order and must meet a 60‑peso minimum purchase.
  • More than 30,000 restaurants are integrated into Amazon.com.mx through Rappi, enabling food orders directly from Amazon’s platform.
  • Amazon relies on Rappi’s rider network and hyperlocal micro‑fulfillment to hit the 15‑minute window, while media reports describe an earlier Amazon stake in Rappi and a possible joint Mexico investment of $120–150 million.
