Amazon Debuts Instant Pickup at UCLA, UC Berkeley
Amazon introduced Instant Pickup this week at five fully-staffed pickup locations in Los Angeles, Berkeley, CA (pictured), Atlanta, Columbus, Ohio and College Park, MD. The free service offers Prime and Prime Student members a curated selection of daily essentials available for pickup in two minutes or less.
Amazon’s Ripley MacDonald says, “As shopping behaviors continue to evolve, customers consistently tell us that they want items even faster. Whether it’s a snack on-the-go, replacing a lost phone charger in the middle of a hectic day, or adding Alexa to your life with an Echo, Instant Pickup saves Prime members time.”
Items available with Instant Pickup include snacks, drinks and electronics, as well as some of Amazon’s most popular devices. The e-commerce company plans to add more locations in the coming months. Amazon operates a total of 22 staffed pickup locations on or near college campuses across the country.
