    Amazon's Prime Now usually does the job if you need something in a hurry, but what if you can't even afford to wait a couple of hours? If you happen to live in the right city, you might have that quick fix today. Amazon has launched an Instant Pickup service that lets Prime subscribers grab food and other essentials (and, logically, Amazon devices) at a staffed pickup location within 2 minutes of ordering them from the company's mobile app. You probably won't have an urgent need for an Echo, but this could be helpful if you lost your headphones or want a snack while you're in the area.
