Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery Changes: What You Should Know

Author Kayla Morgan

Amazon has introduced a new pricing structure for its In-Garage Delivery service, impacting Prime members who utilize this feature. The change, effective as of October 4, adds a fee of $1.99 per order for In-Garage Delivery. However, Amazon has also introduced a way for customers to use this service without the extra cost.

The new approach involves scheduling your In-Garage Deliveries on what Amazon calls “your Amazon Day.” This option, known as Amazon Day with Key Delivery, allows customers to have their in-garage deliveries consolidated and delivered on the same day each week, as per their preference. By choosing this option, the $1.99 fee for In-Garage Delivery is waived.

What is Amazon’s in-garage delivery option?

When an Amazon delivery driver arrives at your location, they scan the package and request temporary access to your garage, which must be equipped with compatible smart-home technology. Amazon Key then verifies the package and the driver’s location before opening the garage door. After securely placing the package inside your garage, the driver exits and uses their delivery app to close the garage door.

Amazon highlights several advantages to this new approach. It gives customers more control over when their packages arrive, reduces the number of drivers accessing your garage, and contributes to minimizing packaging waste by consolidating deliveries.

Should you need specific deliveries to arrive sooner than your scheduled Amazon Day, there’s an option to select one- to two-day In-Garage Delivery during the checkout process for a fee of $1.99 per order. Alternatively, if you prefer doorstep deliveries, you can opt for that option either at the time of purchase or by configuring your Amazon Key settings within the Amazon app.

This adjustment comes on the heels of Amazon’s previous changes to its delivery-related pricing. In August, the company raised the minimum purchase requirement for free shipping in select markets from $25 to $35 for non-Prime members, marking a $10 increase.
