Amazon’s ultra-fast delivery service branches out
Amazon is offering one-hour delivery on more than 15,000 popular items, to Prime members in selected postcodes in Surrey including Camberley, Lightwater and Aldershot. “Prime Now is our fastest delivery option ever and from today Prime customers in Surrey can get the items they need quickly delivered right to the door in under an hour,” said Jason Weston, director of Amazon’s Prime Now service in the UK. “Whether it’s essentials like fresh milk or nappies, or even a last minute gift, customers love the convenience of delivery straight to their door in less than sixty minutes.”
Prime members can choose delivery, using an app, within one hour of ordering for £6.99, or free delivery within a choice of two-hour, same-day delivery slots between 8am and midnight, seven days a week. Two-hour delivery windows are available in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. Customers can choose from thousands of items.
Prime Now launched in London in June 2015 and has spread rapidly across the capital and across the UK and also operates in Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester and Liverpool.
All Prime members can immediately download the Prime Now app, available on iOS and Android devices, to find eligible delivery postcodes and request notification when the service is available in their area. Customers can also visit www.amazon.co.uk/primenow to discover eligible delivery postcodes.
