As Amazon starts to roll out one-day shipping to its most loyal customers, it already has a logistics network spanning much of the U.S.
Amazon is already capable of offering same-day and next-day delivery to 72% of the total U.S. population, including almost all of the households in 17 of the wealthiest and most populated states and Washington, D.C., according to a report published in March by RBC Capital Markets.
That means the company has a huge head start in fulfilling its plan laid out in its latest earnings report to shorten the current two-day free shipping plan by one day for, who pay $119 a year for fast delivery as well as services like unlimited music, access to the video catalog and exclusive deals.
The map below from RBC shows the four-year change in Amazon's distribution footprint. It already covers most of the coastal cities, as well as Texas and major metropolitan areas in the Midwest.
