This is a big deal if you were getting groceries delivered by Amazon, it was 14.99$ previously.
Other grocers also offered delivery, but I do not believe it was free.

[CNN] Amazon makes grocery delivery free for Prime members
- Thread starter BringBackSonics
- Start date
Pretty excited that I won't have this fee anymore.
I'm not sure if that counts as free delivery or not. I don't know for sure what, if anything, changed regarding Fresh if you already had Prime. But I'm glad to see that they've dropped the monthly charge and will be refunding a pro-rated amount.
There is a Verge article on this where they mention that the other two have services where they will let give you free delivery if you have their service.

This is very cool. I use Peapod for my grocery delivery and actually really enjoy it but I can see myself getting stuff from Amazon on occasion when it's not on Peapod. The option is helpful.

Does amazon delivery offer more than the sitry whole foods offbrand stuff?
Only store in my area is a whole foods. Ironically I'm going to be using this amazon product to bypass an amazon product if so.

Closest place to me is Whole Foods which I only go to in an absolute pinch. The last time my girlfriend ran there to grab something quick she accidentally got me homeopathic cough medicine that was fucking useless lol.
That would be cool if they hadn't stopped Amazon Fresh in my town after buying Whole Foods. Now I'm stuck with Amazon PrimeNow if I want groceries through them
Amazon Fresh isn't cheap (neither is Prime for that matter). I doubt they're losing money --- especially now that they have their own delivery service in place for other orders anyway

...has Seattle area even had a monthly fee for Fresh recently? I thought they got rid of it years ago; just a minimum order threshold. But with the advent of Prime Now most of my Fresh ordering stopped since I could either Prime Now faster or go with a local grocer for general cheaper prices.
You get 'real' grocery options too with Fresh (at least in the Seattle region) not just Whole Foods stuff, and the Fresh selection differs from both the Amazon and Whole Foods grocery selections on Prime Now. A few years back Amazon Fresh had a pretty wide range of local vendors you could get stuff from--at one point you could get refrigerated meals from local restaurants to reheat--but now it's just a couple of highlighted local brands, Whole Foods, and a decent grocery selection.
Amazon Fresh has still been more expensive than a 'normal' grocery store for me, in general, but it is nice to be able to order a bunch of bulky or heavy stuff and just have it left outside your door.

It's not a guarantee that they lose money, but even with their own vehicles, it still can't be cheap to delivery within 2 hours for free.
I've used it in the past, especially for bulky things. It's definitely convenient, but there's no denying what their strategy is.
Indeed. The "have everything delivered with one-click purchase" future is not one we should be cheering.

My wife loves this feature at our Local Fred Meyers ( Kroger) - Its called Clicklist. Basically she puts in her order online, then go to the store and pull up into a drive in spot, and a worker comes out with all the groceries and puts them in the car.
