Amazon is accelerating its previous plans to expand its same-day delivery service to more than 4,000 smaller cities, towns, and rural communities by the end of the year, the company announced on June 24.
After delivering to Prime members at record-breaking speeds in 2023 and 2024, the Silicon Valley e-commerce giant said it is investing more than $4 billion to triple the size of its delivery network by 2026, with a focus on rural America.
