Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for surfacing local inventory. A location of a client device is determined based at least in part on a user-specified location associated with the client device or a geolocation technology using an identifier associated with the client device. It is determined that the location is within a region served by local deliveries from a materials handling facility. A first product and a second product that are stored in the materials handling facility are identified. While both the first and the second products are available for local delivery from the materials handling facility in the region, the first product is unavailable for delivery from the materials handling facility outside the region, but the second product is available for delivery from the materials handling facility outside the region. Data encoding a listing of products, including the first and second products, is sent to the client device.
