If you’ve ever made the rookie mistake of picking up groceries on a weeknight in Manhattan, you’re already familiar with lines of tired adults snaking through aisles, ransacked shelves, and a long walk back to an apartment under the weight of a week’s worth of food.

Even if you’re not living in a fifth-floor walk-up in an overcrowded metropolis, the humdrum of driving and looking for parking only to amble through temperature-controlled aisles under fluorescent light for an hour may be enough to make you consider getting groceries delivered to your doorstep.

That’s exactly what you’ll get from Amazon’s grocery delivery service, AmazonFresh. It’s like a digital grocery store – complete with fresh produce, perishables, favorites from your local stores, and Whole Foods 365 brand products – all of which you can have delivered to your doorstep. Prices are low, and orders over $35-$50 (depending on your zip code) get free shipping.

Your AmazonFresh cheat sheet

  • Who can use it: Prime members in eligible cities.
  • What you can buy: groceries (including perishables and produce), everyday essentials, favorites from local shops and restaurants
  • Delivery fee: Orders under the local minimum ($35-$50) have a $9.99 shipping fee. Those that exceed the local minimum get free shipping automatically.
  • Delivery options: Get groceries delivered to your doorstep/doorman or pick it up yourself. Pickup is available in select cities for free and without an order minimum.

    • Doorstep delivery: You choose a two-hour time slot when Amazon can leave your items on your doorstep or with your doorman in temperature-controlled totes. Only choose this option if the delivery person can access the necessary parts of your building like the lobby.
