On a recent trip, I was reminded of the wonderful time saving benefits of Amazon Prime Now. We were traveling as a family for over a week and toward the end of the trip, we were running low on some necessities. So, we set off in our rental car to the local Wal-Mart and spent time out of our vacation grabbing some snacks, diapers, and new pool toys. Silly, really when you think about it!
Use Amazon Prime Now On Your Trip!
Ironically, when we returned to our hotel to pick back up with relaxation and fun we saw this.
A guest on our floor had smartly ordered his/her necessities via Amazon Now and likely spent the time that we were at War-Mart shopping in the pool. So, word to the wise if you are traveling where there is same day or one-day Amazon Prime Now delivery, don’t forget about this awesome benefit!
Prime members in over 5,000 cities and towns can get delivery as fast as today on over a million items with qualifying orders over $35. Check your zip code above to see which options are available.
FREE Same-Day Delivery: Order in the morning, typically before noon, and get your items by 9 p.m. Afternoon or evening orders arrive the next day.
FREE One-Day Shipping: Order by the afternoon and get your items by 9 p.m. the next day.
For Prime members, orders under $35 are $5.99 per order for Same-Day Delivery, or as low as $2.99 per item for One-Day Shipping. For non-Prime members, Same-Day Delivery and One-Day Shipping are available with additional fees.
Bottom Line
The next time you are on a trip and run out of your favorite necessities, remember to not waste your vacation shopping, try Amazon Prime Now! And spend your day at the pool or beach instead:)

Nice idea, and probably useful in some situations. However, I’d be reluctant to have a Prime order sitting in a hotel hallway for any length of time.
Since I normally do not have a vehicle when traveling, I love using Prime Now to get items without having to Uber to a store. I always meet the driver outside, however.
Nice! Thanks for this! Will be in Vegas in October. May indeed use this while at the Golden Nugget. We never rent a car either.
