The products will be delivered to the customers' doorstep within two hours or at a pre-scheduled time, it added. Customers can download the AmazonNow Android app from the Play Store and enter their local PIN code to shop. "AmazonNow has witnessed an amazing uptake by customers in Bengaluru.

AmazonNow offers free delivery for baskets above Rs 350, while for deliveries lower than Rs 350, a delivery charge of Rs 29 for scheduled delivery and Rs 49 for express delivery will be charged. However, as part of a launch promotion in the two cities, Amazon.in will not charge any delivery fee for the orders as of now.
