Amazon plans to expand its Fresh grocery delivery service this year to new markets including Boston and the United Kingdom, according to multiple sources, after what has been a 18-month hiatus from launches in new cities.
The AmazonFresh service lets Amazon customers order groceries, including perishable items like dairy, meat and fish, for delivery within 24 hours. It's only available to customers who buy a $299 Prime Fresh membership, which also includes other perks that come with the company's regular $99 Amazon Prime program.
Amazon began testing the service in 2007, but has been slow to expand it since then. Today, it is only available in parts of Washington state, California, New Jersey, New York City and Philadelphia.
