Amazon Prime has expanded its coverage to Canada, but not all benefits will be part of the package.
Starting today, Prime will be offered to Canadian consumers for the yearly fee of $79.
The service's unlimited two-day shipping will be available in most of the country, according to Canada's Times Colonist. People in rural areas can grab the unlimited shipping but with no two-day guarantee. Those in certain locations will be able to upgrade to one-day shipping starting at $3.99 per item.
Steve Oliver, the country manager for Amazon.ca, told the Times Colonist that the shipping guarantee is good for millions of products sold by the store.
Amazon Prime also provides free Kindle e-book lending and the Instant Video streaming service to its U.S. members. But Canadian subscribers are out of luck. Oliver told the Times Colonist that at this point the company has no plans to offer those options in Canada.
Amazon Prime is also available in the U.K, Japan, France, and Germany.
