Amazon.com Inc. plans to offer deliveries of hundreds of household items, including some fresh groceries and over-the-counter medicines, within 30 minutes in a test program beginning in Philadelphia and its home city of Seattle.

The e-commerce company will use “specialized smaller facilities” for the deliveries, it said Monday in a statement. The fee will start at $13.99, discounted to $3.99 for Prime members, Amazon said.
