My Experience with Amazon Now: Does It Really Deliver in 17 Minutes?

Remember what I told you last time about my experience using Amazon cashback through Sahseh — that I really don't like shopping online at all ❌ So what made me switch to using Amazon cashback through Sahseh during the World Cup season, and now — thank God — level up to actually trying Amazon Now? 🤣 I'm going to walk you through the whole experience, down to the last detail ✍🏻 If you're reading this in the morning, go grab some ful with samosa 😋. If it's afternoon, I recommend a pack of Halo Panda biscuits, our childhood friend 🐼👶🏻. And if it's nighttime, order some Al Baik broasted chicken and a treadmill — on me, of course, from Amazon 🤣. Over the past few days I've been about to finish the "World Champion" level in Sahseh, and today I can proudly say I've completed it. I promise I'll leak my total order count once the World Cup competition wraps up 🎁 "Reem (the writer who's nicknamed herself the Agatha Christie of our time), please — the audience doesn't want a long story. Get to the point already!" Reem replied: "Alright, Houraa" (who's been watching the whole scene unfold from a distance 👁️), "I'll cut to the chase 🧈😂" Houraa: "Are you done joking around, Reem? I've got a release coming up that I'll be publishing in the next few hours 🚀" Reem said, looking a bit stern: "I just want to share my experience using Amazon Now — this is actually the first time I've ever ordered household groceries 🍞 (supermarket items) online."

My Experience Using Amazon Now Saudi Arabia

As I mentioned in the intro, I'm going to walk you through my experience using Amazon Now in Dammam. 📍

Just a reminder—I'm Reem Sharaf (nicknamed the Agatha Christie of our time 🕵️‍♀️), and I tried Amazon Now on June 29, 2026. I placed my order at exactly 8:17 PM, and it was delivered at exactly 8:34 PM.

Before ordering, I checked my mom's fridge (God bless her 🧕) and found it fairly full.

I told myself, "Let me see which fruits or vegetables are running low." Sure enough, I found the following missing:

Cucumbers.
Carrots.
Tomatoes.
Lemons.
Oranges.
Bananas.

As for bakery items 🍞, here's what I found:

Lawazen brown bran toast bread (running low).
Lawazen brown multigrain toast bread — completely out of stock!

I added all of them to my order. ✅

Then I did a second round and headed into the kitchen 🔪 (don't worry, nobody's getting hurt by a knife here) to check what else was missing:

Spices and seasonings, including turmeric.
A can of Goody brand corn.
Saudi tomato paste.
White Swan rice, 2kg.

After finishing my second round, I remembered something I hadn't bought for myself—Nova gum and orange juice.

So I decided to grab three cartons of orange juice for my little brother 👶🏻 and little sister 👭. And I definitely wasn't going to settle for just one pack of Nova gum—I got a whole dozen.

With everything added, I placed my order ✅. The Amazon Now service then suggested I play their mini soccer game, trying to score goals (Goooooal!) ⚽ against Amazon's goalkeeper while I waited for my delivery 🤣.

I'll admit—I didn't manage to score a single accurate shot 🫣. I lost the match against the mighty Amazon goalkeeper 🥅, and then the delivery driver called to confirm my order had arrived and to double-check the address 📍.

Sure enough, my order arrived within 17 minutes ⏳, and I called out to my dad (God protect him) to open the door 🚪.

My dad was supportive throughout the whole "competition" 🎁, while my mom said, a little annoyed, "The next Amazon package that shows up, I'm throwing it out the window."

Our house has basically turned into an Amazon warehouse because of this whole thing 🤣!
