Yesterday, Apple updated its online store to allow same-day deliveries in Manhattan, offered through its partner for the service, Postmates, the on-demand delivery app. The cost of the updated delivery service is $an additional $19 and is guaranteed within two hours in Manhattan. Apple and Postmates launched a similar same-day delivery service in the San Francisco Bay Area in May this year, and so far the service is confined to just San Francisco and Manhattan, with all other areas in the US receiving standard shipment delivery times without the option for a courier service. However, given that Postmates also operates in other major US cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC and Boston, among others, it seems likely Apple’s same-day delivery service could be extended soon.
