How fast is Amazon Prime Air?

Prime Air prides itself in making deliveries within 60 minutes, sometimes even 30 minutes. That is quicker than most of Instacart or DoorDashing, and I do that a lot, said Carina Borra, who lives near Lockeford. Amazon Prime customers who are in the delivery range can opt-in to have drone deliveries.
