When Prime was launched in 2005, the initial benefit we introduced to members was free Two-Day Shipping on 1 million items, which was a groundbreaking innovation at the time and revolutionized the shopping experience. Throughout the past 18 years, we have made significant investments and advancements in our fulfillment and transportation networks, logistics, supply chain, and software to significantly enhance the selection and speed at which we can deliver items to our customers. Presently, Prime has expanded to offer a much wider range of products and faster delivery options. We now have over 300 million items available for free Prime shipping, with tens of millions of the most popular items eligible for free Same-Day or One-Day Delivery. In the last quarter, we achieved our fastest Prime speeds ever. In the top 60 largest U.S. metro areas, more than half of Prime member orders were delivered the same or next day. In the first half of this year, we successfully delivered over 1.8 billion units to U.S. Prime members within the same or next day, which is nearly four times the volume we achieved at this speed by the same point in 2019. Over the years, Prime has evolved to encompass savings, convenience, and entertainment, all within a single membership. Members can enjoy exclusive deals and shopping events like Prime Day, as well as access to movies, series, music, podcasts, photo storage, gaming benefits, books, magazines, and savings on prescriptions and groceries.



One of the Prime benefits that we continue to heavily invest in is Prime Video, which has expanded to offer a wide selection of hit movies, great shows, award-winning Amazon Originals, and live sports, all in one convenient platform. Prime Video provides an extensive library of movies and series, including our own Amazon Originals, as well as live sports coverage. This year, Amazon MGM Studios received an impressive 68 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, marking the studio’s most successful year to date. Our critically acclaimed and beloved series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, has become the most Emmy-nominated streaming comedy ever, with a total of 80 nominations over its five-season run.

In order to maintain a consistent investment in high-quality content over an extended period of time, Prime Video will be introducing limited advertisements beginning in early 2024. Our goal is to provide significantly fewer ads than traditional linear TV and other streaming TV providers. The introduction of ads in Prime Video content will initially take place in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Canada, with France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia following later in the year.

Prime members need not take any action, as there will be no changes to the current price of Prime membership in 2024. Additionally, we will be offering a new ad-free option for U.S. Prime members at an additional cost of $2.99 per month*. Pricing for other countries will be announced at a later date. Prior to the introduction of ads into Prime Video, we will be sending out emails to Prime members with information on how to sign up for the ad-free option, should they choose to do so.
