Now, Amazon shoppers can order items and have them within minutes at a designated pickup location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">The online retailer is expanding its \u201cInstant Pickup\u201d program, which is already live on pilot college campuses in five cities: Berkeley, California; College Park, Maryland; Columbus, Ohio; Los Angeles, and Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">While the speedy service will be available to anyone who uses Amazon, it&#8217;s only free for Prime subscribers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">To use the service, shoppers need to download the most recent version of the Amazon Shopping App (version 9.15 on iOS and 12.5 on Android). Users can then shop through the app and purchase items that are eligible for Instant Pickup at their local Amazon locker center. When the shopper arrives at the Amazon lockers, they\u2019ll scan a barcode on their phone and the locker with their items will pop open. As long as there are no kinks, the shopper should have no wait time and no reason to interact with a sales person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">The company said it hopes the ability to pick up packages on your own time will prevent the frustration of missing a package delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Most of the items currently available are college essentials including school supplies, snacks, and tech accessories like headphones and phone chargers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000;font-size: 14pt\">Parents can also make orders for their children from home and choose to have the item available for pickup on their kid&#8217;s college campus, instead of having it shipped to their residence hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.travelandleisure.com\/syndication\/amazon-instant-pickup<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/lifestyle\/shopping\/you-can-now-get-your-amazon-order-within-minutes.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You Can Now Get Your Amazon Order Within Minutes You Can Now Get Your Amazon Order Within Minutes:- Amazon\u2019s \u201cInstant Pickup\u201d service will have your package ready in just two minutes.
