Amazon is rapidly opening store-sized delivery hubs in dozens of U.S. and foreign cities to fulfill customers’ most urgent product needs in 30 minutes or less. The e-commerce titan's ultrafast Amazon Now service first launched in India last June. Amazon says it's now also available in five other countries and is expanding in the U.S. The mini-warehouses devoted to Amazon Now stock about 3,500 products. The items include fresh produce, beer, diapers, nonprescription medications, cleaning supplies, electronics and personal care products like shampoo. Offering uberfast deliveries is the latest chapter in the e-commerce titan's relentless pursuit of speed. The company revolutionized online shopping after it introduced two-day shipping in 2005.
