Just hours after it launched in Singapore to great fanfare -- Amazon Prime Now is fingering videosdown.
The e-commerce giant's launch on Thursday marked its first foray into Southeast Asia.

The app, which launched Thursday morning, showed that delivery was "unavailable" from Thursday afternoon till Friday afternoon, when Mashabletested it out.

"Due to great customer response, delivery windows are currently sold out. We are rapidly opening up new windows."
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Amazon had initially boasted that its 100,000 square feet store, its largest Prime Now warehouse to date, would ship products at "lightning fast speeds."
"We know how busy Singaporeans are....[and] we know [they] are going to love the convenience of Amazon's fastest delivery method yet...shipped in lightning fast speeds," said Aarif Nakhooda, director of Prime Now on Thursday.
But unlike U.S. warehouses, which rely on robots to locate goods, the Singapore outlet relies on humans who do everything from placing goods to sending your parcels.

For now, orders can only be made through the app.

Even CEO Jeff Besos' half-day stint as the world's richest man lasted longer than Amazon's delivery service did -- now that's saying something.
