And at the same time, we are working really hard to continue to expand the amount of everyday essentials that we offer our customers. And uh the the growth in everyday essentials in our business is really remarkable as I mentioned in my opening comments.
00:23 Speaker A
And um, you know, one out of three units now that we um that we move uh are are everyday essentials and what we find there is that the more the customers can rely on us for um, uh for everyday essentials and and the lower ASP items, uh they they just choose to do more of their downstream shopping with us in in every way. We’re just more front of mind. And so, you know, I think a big piece
00:53 Speaker A
of why we have captured more and more of those everyday essentials and um you see it also in our grocery business with perishables too. It’s just our speed of delivery improvements over the last three years has been really marked. I mean it’s it’s it’s uh customers I it’s the one thing I get stopped on the street most often about, um which is I just can’t believe how quickly from when I order something I get it to my door and how reliable you are.
01:21 Speaker A
I think you know, along that um speed of delivery piece, it’s also quite interesting what’s happening with quick commerce, you know, and and we have this offering called Amazon Now that we’ve largely started outside the US in India and UAE and Mexico that gets thousands of items to customers within 30 minutes.
01:45 Speaker A
And uh it really is it’s quite interesting um how quickly that is growing.
01:53 Speaker A
And I I think that it’s just another one of those things like everyday essentials that when you’re when you’re able to order more and more from Amazon, you just think of Amazon first if it’s if it’s a great experience that we’re offering for whatever you’re looking for. But you in our if you look in India, which is the place we’ve rolled out um quick commerce the fastest, customers who try quick commerce
02:18 Speaker A
uh are are shopping with triple the frequency than they did before they tried us in quick commerce. So those are all areas I think are pretty excited um that we’re expanding. Um you’ll see us continue to expand what we’re doing on the perishable side too, which we’re we’re quite excited about. and you know, we we are able to deliver perishables same day in thousands of cities around the world now.
02:47 Speaker A
And the cities in which we have those perishables um available, nine of the 10 top items that are ordered in that geography are perishables. And so we’re we’re just having a lot of success with that too and people who buy perishables from us, um after they buy perishables, they’re shopping with us twice as frequent frequently. So a lot of good things to like this.
