Those of us who live in New York City are luckiest of all. Since we live in such close proximity to Amazon's regional warehouse, our orders are processed with rapid speed, and according to Time, some orders are shipped less than an hour after shoppers press buy.
These fulfillment centers are in 20 cities across the United States, and thanks to Amazon's Prime Now app, customers in these 20 cities can choose for their items to be delivered within the hour.
