Apple has rolled out same-day delivery in the San Francisco Bay Area for select products via the Apple Store app.

Some products on the app, such as the Apple TV and iPhone USB cables, now include delivery times as brief as one hour, MacRumors reports. Bay Area residents who tested the service out reported that items arrived as quickly as half an hour, though some delivery times may take up to a day.

Apple’s new service is made possible through a partnership with on-demand delivery company Postmates, which is also responsible for Starbucks’ coffee delivery in some U.S. cities. Apple products have already been available on Postmates’ iOS app for delivery, but it’s the first time that option has appeared on the Apple Store app.
