Amazon says it will soon offer same-day delivery to its Prime customers in Toronto and Vancouver who order something online worth more than $25. "Prime was developed to make shopping on Amazon fast and convenient, and Prime members in Canada can now enjoy fast, unlimited, free Prime delivery seven days a week," spokesman Alexandre Gagnon said. For $79 a year, an Amazon Prime membership gives Canadian customers faster deliveries at no additional charge. Not everything Amazon sells is eligible for the same-day delivery, but Amazon says one million items in the Toronto-area market and 700,000 items are included to customers near Vancouver. Amazon rival Indigo offers free shipping within Canada for orders over $25 for delivery in one to nine business days.
