Amazon Launches 'Amazon Now' in Mexico With Rappi for 15‑Minute Deliveries

The rollout uses Rappi’s hyperlocal logistics to bring ultrafast grocery and restaurant ordering into Amazon’s platform, strengthening the value proposition of Prime.

Overview

  • Amazon Now is live in 10 Mexican cities, offering up to 5,000 everyday items and integrated ordering from more than 30,000 restaurants through Amazon.com.mx.
  • Prime members get free ultrafast delivery during the launch phase, while non‑Prime customers pay about 53 pesos per order and a 60‑peso minimum applies.
  • Initial coverage is limited to selected areas even within included cities such as Mexico City, with availability varying by postal code.
  • Users can link Amazon and Rappi accounts to access the integrated Rappi storefront on Amazon; Amazon shares Prime membership status with Rappi solely to verify eligibility.
  • Reports cite a possible joint Mexico investment of roughly $120–$150 million and a prior Amazon stake in Rappi, though those financial details have not been universally confirmed.
