Can you only shop/place orders using your phone?

I was gonna order some stuff right away, just for fun. Then, they wanted me to re-enter my CC info.

Maybe later. I'm happy as a kid at Christmas!

I used it today as well. Ordered at Noon, order was delivered about 30 minutes ago (3:00). It looks like PrimeNow is its own special app for Android, iphone, and Amazon devices, but I was surprised at the number of items that are available to be delivered. I'm sure this will expand in the weeks and months to come.

On the app, you can even see where your driver is with your package once it ships!

Any Android or IOS device should work, as well as Kindle Fire. Nothing for Windows yet.

Hmmm....I wonder if they are too busy today? I just tried to order and the 6-8 and 8-10 time slots were unavailable. I could have it delivered tomorrow morning, however. The whole point of it for me right now is the novelty of getting the stuff in two hours. Fun activity on a dreary Thursday. Hopefully it will remember my cart and I'll just order it tomorrow.

I'm sure they're getting swamped today...pun intended.

Are the drivers uniformed or more free lance (and what about tipping)?

Some info here:

http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/...4&t=1454619316

The drivers are independent contractors and tipping is optional. When you check out a "suggested tip" is added to your order which you can zero out. According to the FAQ: "No, tipping is completely optional and can be changed up to 48 hours after delivery in the Prime Now app. Your entire tip goes to your courier, but information about your tip, such as the amount or who has issued it, isn't shared."

Actually, in Durham, it covers the following zip codes: 27701, 27707, 27713
Yep! The headline Raleigh is misleading because a lot of Durham is included, very glad my house is.
