Amazon beta-testing grocery click-and-collect locations

Currently being beta-tested by Amazon employees, the first two AmazonFresh Pickup locations have opened — in Seattle’s SoDo and Ballard neighborhoods, the company reported on its website (see http://tinyurl.com/kkt7ocv). Amazon stated that the click-and-collect sites will open to Amazon Prime members but provided no debut date.

Prime members who order AmazonFresh groceries online — at home or on the go — will be able pick up the groceries in as little as 15 minutes after the order is placed or at a designated time, according to Amazon.

“Once we’re officially open, all Prime members will enjoy free or unlimited Pickup benefits,” Amazon said.
