Amazon expands its Prime Same Day delivery service to more parts of the UK


Same day delivery is a service that is just beginning to catch on in the UK, with Argos’ Fast Track Delivery being the most widely available option, as opposed to Amazon’s Prime Same Day service which, up until now, has been limited to Greater London and select Berkshire and Hertfordshire areas. That is about to change, though, as Amazon has announced that its Same Day service is now available in a number of new locations in England and Scotland.

The following locations are now able to enjoy Prime Same Day deliveries:

  • Birmingham
  • Bristol
  • Dudley
  • Milton Keynes
  • Northampton
  • Walsall
  • Wolverhampton
  • Edinburgh
  • Glasgow

More than 1 million products can be ordered using the Prime Same Day delivery service. Orders placed before noon are eligible to be delivered between 6pm and 10pm that day, seven days a week with no minimum spend, although naturally you need to be a Prime subscriber.

 

Full Press Release:

 

Amazon expands Prime Same Day in the UK – Prime Members in the Midlands, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Milton Keynes now receive unlimited free same-day delivery on one million items
Orders placed by noon will be delivered between 6pm and 10pm the same day, seven days a week.

LONDON – 18 November 2015 – Amazon.co.uk today has expanded its recently-launched Prime Same Day service, offering Prime members free same-day delivery on one million items. The service launched in Greater London and parts of Hertfordshire and Berkshire earlier this month is now available to residential addresses in Birmingham, Bristol, Dudley, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Walsall and Wolverhampton. Amazon will continue to expand Prime Same Day to other areas of the UK in 2016.

Prime members who place an order for same-day delivery by noon, on any day of the week, will receive their delivery between 6pm and 10pm on that same evening. There is no minimum order value and a wide range of items are available, from TVs to toasters, DVDs to books, and coffee makers to children’s toys.

“Prime members are telling us that they love the convenience of free same-day delivery so we are quickly introducing it to many new areas of the UK. And we continue to invest in our delivery network to expand our fast delivery options to even more Prime members,” said Christopher North, Managing Director of Amazon.co.uk. “Prime Same Day adds to the range of benefits available to Prime members, like unlimited streaming of movies and music, unlimited photo storage and more.”

Look for Prime Same Day while shopping
Prime members can now find and purchase products for same-day delivery on Amazon.co.uk, whether they’re using their PC, tablet or mobile device. Members can simply look for the Prime Same Day logo on eligible items, add these items to their shopping basket, and then choose the FREE Same Day option at checkout. Alternatively, members can tick the new Prime Same Day check box located in the filter menu while browsing or after performing a search.

Expanding customer choice for fast delivery
The choice of fast delivery services for Prime customers now includes:
Prime Now: Members can choose delivery to selected London and Birmingham postcodes within one hour of ordering for £6.99, or free delivery within a choice of two-hour delivery windows between 8am and midnight the same day, seven days a week on thousands of daily essentials, gifts and more.

Amazon brings one-hour Prime Now deliveries to Newcastle


Newcastle

Just a day after it expanded its same-day delivery service to more of the UK, Amazon has added another big city to its list of Prime Now locations: Newcastle. The Northern city joins London and Birmingham in offering Prime customers one-hour deliveries, allowing locals order up to 15,000 products including electronics, food and possible Christmas for £6.99 or for free if they’re willing to wait two hours. Amazon says selected postcodes in Gateshead, Durham and Sunderland are now eligible, but you should probably check Amazon’s delivery checker first before filling your online basket.

Amazon shines a spotlight on startup products in the UK


After going live in the US this summer, Amazon has today brought its Launchpad program to the UK. Appearing sans fanfare on the UK portal, Launchpad is a dedicated storefront specifically showcasing the products of early stage companies. That said, the initial catalogue features some relatively well-known brands, such as Sphero, Withings, Pebble, Elgato, Misfit and new smartphone player Wileyfox, though it’s not limited to products in the technology realm. The idea behind Launchpad is that startups can use the program — and Amazon’s delivery expertise — to get their products to customers without having to become logistics experts themselves.

Amazon is discounting Prime to £59 in the UK for a limited time


amazon prime uk deal

Amazon Prime is about to become even more enticing for UK customers. Through November 18, Brits can sign up for the service for £59, a £20 discount over the regular price.

For $99 in the US and £79 in the UK, Amazon Prime offers a slews of benefits, including free one-day (or even same-day) delivery for millions of products, access to a collection of movies and over one millions songs, one free e-book per month, and unlimited photo storage on Amazon Drive. If you’re a frequent Amazon shopper, the cost of quick shipping alone could make Prime worthwhile, with everything else counting as a very nice bonus.

Another enticing feature of Amazon Prime is early access to certain deals. Prime subscribers can access the short-lived Lighting deals 30-minutes earlier than regular shoppers. Given that Lighting deals typically offer the best discounts, having Prime can definitely facilitate, if not guarantee, a bargain.

The deal on Amazon Prime is valid through November 18, at 23:59. Only new Prime customers can take advantage of the promotion, and after the first year, the regular price of £79 will come into effect.

Amazon is obviously trying to lure customers into its walled garden ahead of Black Friday, the shopping event that started in America and took over UK and the rest of the world in recent years. For this year, the retailer is promising more than 7,000 deals in the UK, in hopes of beating the record from last year, when it sold 5.5 million items on Black Friday.

If you’re wondering how early you have to wake up to get on the Black Friday bandwagon, Amazon has a helpful pointer: last year, peak shopping was recorded at 8:29am. The question is, which is more important – deals or sleep?

Amazon has offered a similar discount on its premium service in the US back in June, when a year of Prime could be had for $72. We’ll have to see whether the UK deal will make its way across the pond in time for Black Friday, but don’t hold your breath.

Happy shopping!
