Amazon Service that Delivers Packages to Prime Members’ Vehicles Comes to an End

If you enjoyed having Amazon packages delivered to your car, then you will be disappointed to learn that the service has come to an end.

Amazon has shut down its service delivering packages to its Prime members’ cars.

The offering was an extension of Amazon Key, the company’s array of services that enable delivery drivers to leave packages in garages, homes and businesses.

According to a CNBC report, the company notified Prime users on Thursday that the service, called Key In-Car Delivery, is being “suspended indefinitely.”

“While our plan was to reactivate In-Car Delivery as soon as we could, it will remain suspended indefinitely,” the email from Amazon states which CNBC has viewed. “We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for being a loyal Amazon customer.”

An Amazon spokesperson added that Amazon paused in-car delivery last March and planned to resume it, but is now focusing on in-garage delivery and building out additional Key offerings.

The in-car delivery service had been launched for some Prime members with select vehicles back in 2018.

It gave Prime members peace of mind to be able to get their packages without damage or theft.

In the notice on Thursday, Amazon directed Prime users to try its in-garage delivery service and added an offer with $30 off their first delivery, along with a free Chamberlain myQ smart garage controller.

This enables Amazon to operate a user’s garage door opener so that it can be opened by a delivery person.
