Amazon making major change to delivery with nationwide impact
Amazon is moving closer to you. City dwellers are already accustomed to the retail behemoth's faster-than-lightening same-day and next-day delivery — but now, smaller towns and rural areas will get to feel the same thrill. In in a surprise Prime Day announcement, the online giant said it would expand the speedy service to more than 4,000 new locations by year's end. 3 Amazon is expanding its same-day and next-day delivery service to over 4,000 smaller cities, towns and rural communities. Amazon Amazon's focus on expanding into smaller towns 'goes beyond speed,' the company said in a written statement. 'It's about transforming daily life for rural customers, who typically live farther from brick-and-mortar retailers, have fewer product and brand choices, and face limited delivery options when shopping online.' The expanded options will allow shoppers in smaller communities to access the Prime benefit of unlimited same-day free delivery when spending over $25 at checkout, as well as the option to shop Amazon's everyday essentials, including affordable pantry items and household goods. That includes dry goods like paper towels, diapers, dog food, oatmeal, nuts, snack packs, instant ramen, peanut butter, sodas, coffee pods and more. 'These items are speed-critical, and when customers need them, they often want them delivered as soon as possible,' Amazon said, adding that the same-day delivery for essentials will make it 'easier than ever' for small town customers to stock up without an extra trip to the store. In order to make this happen, Amazon is investing over $4 billion by the end of 2026 to triple the size of their delivery network, with a focus on small towns and rural communities. 3 Amazon is investing over $4 billion by the end of 2026 to triple the size of their delivery network. Amazon They'll also be transforming existing rural delivery stations into hybrid hubs that also stores inventory on site in order to enable same-day delivery within hours. The company's 'rural expansion' will cover 13,000 zip codes — from North Padre Island, Tex. to Asbury, IA to Lewes, Del. and more. 3 The expanded delivery will allow customers the option to shop Amazon's everyday essentials, including affordable groceries and household goods, with same-day delivery. Amazon Amazon shared that it had its 'fastest-ever delivery speeds' in 2024, and they're continuing to work on innovations that will allow them to deliver even faster in 2025. 'So far this year the number of items delivered the same or next day in the U.S. increased over 30% compared to the same period last year,' they said in the announcement.

Beyond the obvious (America's birthday!), if there's anything else to celebrate this Fourth of July, it's the slew of can't-miss sales. Just hear me out: The discounts on fashion, home and beauty are off the charts ahead of the festivities. And as usual, Amazon is leading the pack with some of the biggest offers in every category. So, if shopping and saving at the Amazon Fourth of July sale isn't already on your list of things to do while you're OOO, best put it on there now. In fact, you should start scrolling the sale ASAP, because the markdowns on tons of your favorite products (like Vacation's beloved sunscreen and these comfy slide sandals you'll want to wear all summer long) are currently in full swing. And with Amazon Prime Day 2025 just around the corner, this is your last chance to score a ton of early deals ahead of the crowd. Thankfully, I perused the sale to ensure you have a shot at scoring the biggest savings sooner rather than later. Here are 13 fireworks-worthy July Fourth deals to scoop up before prices go back up. Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Amazon I live in dresses during the summertime. If you do, too, I probably don't have to convince you to snag this breezy tiered maxi that's sure to be comfy thanks to its flowy fit and lightweight rayon fabric. It's also marked down in a bunch of solid colors and patterns, so you might want to pick it up in multiples—especially once you hear what this reviewer has to say about the style: "So pleasantly surprised how much I love this dress! After receiving I immediately went to see what other colors/prints I'm going to summer dress to wear casual with flip-flops or dress it up with heels." I'm certainly sold. $43; $36 at Amazon Amazon These genuine suede-lined slides feature a memory foam footbed and adjustable buckle straps. But are they as comfortable as they look? I peeked through their massive review section (with more than 68,000 reviews) for answers. Here's one buyer's honest opinion: "These are perfect, and didn't break the bank! Comfy while also supportive of your feet. I have high arches and small wide feet, and they are a perfect fit!" Since they also come in a range of colors and upper finishes, you might want to grab two pairs while the price is this good. $50; $35 at Amazon Amazon This summer has been hot so far, so if I were you, I'd definitely take advantage of the deal on this portable neck fan that will keep you cool wherever you go—from the pool to Disney World. It has a long battery life lasting between four and 16 hours, per the brand, so you don't have to worry about recharging it while you're out. Plus, it adjusts between three different speeds to offer the perfect breeze for your needs $37; $28 at Amazon Amazon If you're stuffing your suitcase for an upcoming trip, these lightweight packing cubes are an excellent solution. You get five of them in a pack, and each has interior pockets and an extra zipper on the outside that can be zipped up to help squash clothes down (and fit more in your bag). You also get a drawstring pouch, which will come in handy for storing dirty clothes or shoes on your travels. It's no wonder everyone wants to get their hands on this set before their next vacay (including me). from $43; $30 at Amazon Amazon Save your skin from sunburn this summer with this TikTok-famous Vacation sunscreen that shoppers adore. What makes it so good? Well, just take a look at what one reviewer had to say: "Love this smell is lovely and it feels light and cool on the skin. No white have been using this sunscreen all spring and summer." Not to mention, you get *three* water-resistant, SPF 50 bottles in this pack, so it should keep you covered all through the season. $57; $46 at Amazon Amazon Listen, I love a good pair of designer sunglasses as much as the next girl, but they're not always the most practical pick when you're relaxing by the pool or on vacation and don't want to risk losing them. These ones from Sojos have all the style that I love (plus polarized, UV-protective lenses), but at less than $20, they'll have me way less stressed about carrying them around. I'm definitely stocking up (and you should, too). $20; $16 at Amazon Amazon PureWow Beauty and Cultures Editor Chelsea Candelario put a similar version of these best-selling under-eye masks to the test to see if they're really worth it. Spoiler: They totally are. "I feel more energized (like the name suggests) and the area looks brighter than ever. I appreciate how they reduce my dark circles and maintain moisture. I also love how Grace & Stella offers a variety of pack options to choose from, and honestly, the price is pretty reasonable," she shared in her review. And now that price is even better, so I'd say they're definitely worth snagging. $28; $24 at Amazon Amazon We can all agree that vacuuming is one of the most tedious household chores, right? Well, guess what? This cordless vacuum can make the task *a lot* more bearable—or even, dare I say, enjoyable. Besides sucking up stubborn pet hair on carpets and nearly invisible dirt particles from rugs and hard floors, this lightweight and easy-to-maneuver Dyson comes with several attachments, including not one, but *four* cleaning accessories that allow you to go from vacuuming hard floors to deep cleaning pet beds. Better yet, the masterpiece easily converts to a handheld when you need it. Its brilliant no-touch bin-emptying system? Yet another feature that'll make you dread cleaning less. $470; $349 at Amazon Amazon These heat waves feel relentless this year, so if you need a little help keeping cool at night, allow me to introduce you to this cooling comforter from Cozy Bliss that's earned tons of rave reviews. "When they label this a cooling blanket they are not kidding. Climbing in, the bed is cold, even on the hottest day of summer," wrote one happy buyer. Meanwhile, another explained that it kept them cool all through the night, even when temperatures went well into the 90s. The fact that it's majorly discounted now is just a bonus if you ask me. From $87; $68 at Amazon Amazon These enamel-safe teeth whitening strips are popular for a reason (in fact, they're so popular that they've received more than 55,000 reviews from Amazon shoppers). Besides using natural ingredients like coconut oil, dead sea salt and lemon peel oil that won't leave your teeth feeling overly sensitive, the strips are also made with the brand's stain targeting technology that's specifically designed to (you guessed it) target stains. Want proof? Take it from this shopper who shared, "These are the only whitening strips I've used that don't cause any sensitivity at all. No zaps of pain, no lingering gradual, gentle whitening. One thing I love is that the strips are soft and flexible, so they're easy to apply and comfortable to wear." $23; $19 at Amazon Amazon If you need even more relief from the summer heat, you (and your kids, and your pets) won't regret grabbing this fun splash pad for your backyard while it's less than $40. It comes in a few different sizes and prints so you can find one that will best fit your space, and the surface is designed to be non-slip, so you can rest easy letting the kids run through the built-in sprinklers. The materials are BPA- and phalathate-free, too, and thick enough that if your pup wants to join in on the fun, you don't have to worry about their paws snagging it. Still on the fence? You might want to take a look at the more than 27,000 reviews for the splash pad, including this one from a buyer, who shared, "Two years in and this little splash pad is still providing hours of cool, summer fun! Seams have all held up, it's a breeze to put up and take down, and thick enough to hold up to two active toddlers." $60; $35 at Amazon Amazon I heard comfy denim shorts are on your list of things to buy this weekend. Don't ask me how, just do yourself a favor and scoop up this beloved Levi's style that *rarely* disappoints. When I say rarely, I mean more than 20,000 buyers have given them a 5-star rating, and it's all because they fit well, don't gap at the waist, and are said to be the perfect length. Just note that some reviewers suggest sizing up if you're looking for a more relaxed fit—either way, I believe you just found your new go-to Daisy Dukes. From $60; $30 at Amazon Amazon In case you haven't heard, everyone's working out (and even just walking!) with weighted vests on these days. Wanna get in on the fitness trend? Then don't miss your chance to grab this one, that's available in eight different weight options between 5 and 30 pounds, for less. It has a mesh pocket at the back where you can store your phone or keys, and an extra detachable pouch that you can add onto one of the padded straps. "This is awesome, so happy I purchased. I've worn it a couple of times since it arrived a few days ago and you can really feel it! I am only walking with it at the moment but it definitely makes a difference, especially going up hills etc. I love walking, so this is a great way to make the exercise 'count' more," shared one happy buyer.

From Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11 (it's longer this year than ever before), you can snag best-selling cookware sets, appliances, gadgets and viral products that every foodie will adore. Think the Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine (was $750, now $550), the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers Set (was $130, now $85), the Vitamix 5200 Blender (was $550, now $350) and so much more, all generously marked down for a limited time.

Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Found: The 14 Best Early Prime Day Fashion Deals to Shop Now Amazon This two-in-one gadget will greatly reduce your prep time in the kitchen. Slice and dice onions, potatoes, celery, carrots and more with the help of four different blades. The large capacity catch tray prevents messes, while the safety feature will keep you from accidentally cutting yourself. $50; $26 at Amazon Amazon If you're someone who shops based almost entirely on reviews, you'll likely be impressed with this espresso machine. It's earned nearly five stars from more than 26,000 reviewers and is Amazon's best-selling semi-automatic espresso machine to date. Chalk it up to the 16 grind settings, conical burr grinder and easy-to-use steam wand. $750; $550 at Amazon Amazon Tame your hellish container cabinet for good. You can use these stackable essentials in the fridge or pantry, and the smaller half- and 1.3-cup containers are great carry-along sizes for lunch and snacks. Most importantly, they're stain- and odor-resistant and totally leak-proof. $130; $85 at Amazon Amazon A food scale is a game-changer when it comes to cooking and portioning. This one is small and cute enough to keep on your kitchen counter (although it can be easily tucked away in a cabinet if you'd prefer), and it has a simple LCD display that's easy to read. $13; $8 at Amazon Amazon Make smoothies, milkshakes, soup and more for a crowd with the roomy 72-ounce pitcher, which comes with two pint-sized to-go cups for portability. The 1,200-watt motor on the BR201AMZ model can pulverize ice in mere seconds, no matter which of four speeds you use. It does more than make sauces and liquid items, too; it can also mince, chop, grind and blend solid foods to simplify meal prep. $110; $80 at Amazon Amazon If you're in the market for a professional-grade blender, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this one. Complete with durable stainless steel blades and a sturdy 64-ounce container that's specifically designed to efficiently fold ingredients together, this beaut can whip up everything from smoothies to ice cream to soup in a snap. Oh, and it'll clean itself in about 60 seconds—just add soap and water and blitz. Amazon If your go-to pots and pans are due for an update, turn to this catch-all cookware set, which has a slippery, stovetop-agnostic nonstick surface that's designed to stay durable for the long haul. It includes three frying pans, three saucepans with lids, a sauté pan with a lid, three silicone lids, three fridge storage lids, a removable handle and six pan protectors. $160; $64 at Amazon Amazon There's no need to order in with this real-deal pizza oven on your side. It can reach up to 800°F and fits compactly on your kitchen counter. Five settings—Neapolitan, New York, thin crust, pan and frozen—make any type of pie a breeze to expertly prepare. Plus, it comes with a pizza stone and pizza peel, so you can feel like a pro while you cook (and keep from burning your hands). $500; $230 at Amazon Amazon You may not see the utility of a fancy salt or pepper grinder, but hear me out. With five grind levels, you can easily adjust to your desired coarseness. This model also operates on batteries, so you won't need to charge or plug the grinders in before using them. They're also durable and easy to refill. $33; $22 at Amazon Amazon Having a baby gets With this handy sterilizer, you can clean up to six bottles at once, not to mention bottle parts, pacifiers and other baby gear. Easy electronic controls let you know when they're heating, cooling and ready to use. There's also a built-in accessory tray for smaller pieces, so you won't need to sterilize in batches. $70; $36 at Amazon Amazon Treat yourself to sleek tableware for four, so you can serve your dinner party guests in style. Included in the 12-piece collection are 10-inch dinner plates, 8-inch salad plates and 23-ounce cereal bowls. The stoneware pieces are coated in double-reactive glaze, making them dishwasher- and microwave-safe. There are eight colors to choose from (although I'm partial to matte white). $100; $73 at Amazon Amazon This workhorse has 13 different cooking functions that allow you to toast, broil, bake, roast, warm, air fry, reheat, slow cook and dehydrate. Features get even more specific with settings like 'bagel,' 'pizza' and 'cookies,' and there's a proofing feature to boot. According to the brand, the capacity is large enough to toast up to nine slices of bread at a time. $400; $320 at Amazon Amazon Playing bartender? You'll be grateful to have this compact, efficient countertop ice maker in tow. The sturdy handle makes it easy to carry, and the bullet ice is pleasantly chewy and clean. With a generous 1.5-liter tank, the machine can make up to 26.5 pounds of ice in a day, so it's more than ready to quench the thirst of a crowd. $70; $55 at Amazon Amazon If you can't be trusted around a gallon of ice cream, this gadget is a must. It makes single servings of ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt and whatever other frosty treats you can imagine in 20 minutes flat. Simply freeze the base of the maker for a full day, add the ingredients and let it work its magic. Voilà, dessert. $40; $28 at Amazon Amazon Nearly every baking project on your agenda will be easier to pull off with this appliance (which is one of my favorite stand mixers). The 3.5-quart stainless steel bowl can accommodate up to five dozen cookies per batch, but my favorite detail is that the smaller, lighter model takes up less room on your kitchen counter than its predecessor (it also weighs five pounds less). The mixer also includes a flex-edge beater, which simultaneously mixes and scrapes the bowl. Amazon A six-liter Dutch oven that will last forever? Yes, please. Crafted from enameled cast iron, this beauty will broil, braise, bake and roast all your meals in the oven (up to 500°F) or on the stove. The porcelain-enameled interior aims to minimize sticking and stains while also promoting browning and caramelization. $120; $95 at Amazon Amazon Just looking at this chic, slim kettle makes me crave a cuppa. It's designed with five one-touch presets that will keep you from burning your coffee grounds or tea leaves. The Hold Temp function will also keep your brew warm for up to an hour. Use the kettle for impeccable pour-over coffees or your afternoon tea.

Patios, decking areas, and freshly-cut lawns are the perfect place to while away an afternoon in the summer - but when the heat gets too much, a little shade and shelter is just what we need. Parasols and sun shades are a great option for a temporary fix, but if you like to spend a lot of time in your outside space, a pergola is more permanent - and a lot more effective. You might think it's an expensive option, and it usually is, but this retractable pergola is available through a deal on Wowcher for just £169. It's usually £373.99, so it's nearly half price. The canopy slides back and forth with a drawstring system | Wowcher Yes, you did read that right, a 3m by 4m steel pergola with a weatherproof retractable fabric canopy can be had for less than the price of a lawnmower. It's a free-standing pergola, so it can be used on any flat surface, and it bolts down for security, and drain holes ensure any rainwater can't pool up on the fabric. The UV-resistant canopy can be retracted using drawstrings, so it slides open and shut like a curtain, in seconds and the frame is powder coated to prevent rust. There are colour choices to suit your garden style | Wowcher There is an option for 48-hour delivery available if you order it quickly, but bear in mind postage costs a not inconsiderable £38.99. It's also, obviously, a self-assembly item and you'll doubtless need a second pair of hands for that.
