Amazon announced on Tuesday that it’s making it easier for users to find products eligible for its 1-hour and 3- hour delivery options with a new “getitfast” page for same-day delivery products available in their area. Amazon is also introducing new search filters for 1-hour and 3-hour delivery, along with tags on eligible products — which could be convenient, but could also do even more to squeeze out local businesses if this becomes a popular option.

A Swedish firm hopes that drones will open up a new market for hot food delivery. Värmdö is just eight miles (13km) from Stockholm as the crow flies, and accessible by car, bus and ferry. But its population of around 46,000 – rising to up to 100,000 in the summer – has few hot food delivery options. At the moment Aviant is in a "beta phase" – only delivering 10 items a week, while they check everything works.
