Amazon expanded its Prime accessible Key in-garage delivery services to over 4,000 cities across the United States and will expand product delivery options from both Whole Foods Market and Amazon Fresh.
In order to access the Key in-Garage service, customers will need to have a myQ smart garage door installed in their home, allowing delivery personal access to their garage. Additionally, the e-commerce giant is incentivizing new customers to access the service. First-time customers of Amazon's Key in-Garage Grocery Delivery service will be eligible to receive a $30 credit, and also $20 for their first grocery order.
Expanding the service to 4,000 cities will make Amazon's garage delivery service available to the majority of American consumers, and may find early success as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in many parts of the United States.
