DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Amazon has opened a new same-day delivery facility serving the Daytona Beach area, offering delivery in as little as one hour and bringing more than 100 full-time jobs, the company announced Thursday.
Customers can check eligible items and delivery availability for their address at amazon.com/getitfast.
The facility offers one-hour and three-hour delivery windows, along with standard same-day service that Amazon says typically arrives within about five hours.
Delivery options and fees
Amazon says millions of items are eligible, including household essentials, electronics, health and beauty products, clothing, and home and garden supplies.
For Prime members, delivery fees are $9.99 for one-hour service and $4.99 for three-hour service, according to the company.
The smaller facilities combine order fulfillment, sorting and delivery operations at one location near the communities they serve.
More than 100 full-time jobs
Amazon says the new Daytona Beach facility brings more than 100 full-time positions with starting pay of at least $20 an hour.
Benefits available on the first day include health, vision and dental insurance, according to the company.
Keith Norden, president and CEO of Team Volusia Economic Development Corp., said the opening expands Amazon’s existing presence in the county, where it has five facilities.
The opening comes as Amazon prepares for the holiday shopping season. The company says it is hiring more than 21,000 seasonal, part-time and full-time employees across Florida, including more than 2,000 in Central Florida.
Those statewide hiring figures are separate from the more than 100 full-time roles associated with the new Daytona Beach facility.
Applicants can find opportunities at amazon.com/localjobs or text NEWJOB to 31432 for local job alerts.
