Amazon UK today announced that its ultra-fast delivery service, Prime Now, is now available to Prime members in Liverpool and surrounding areas, and will expand to many more British cities this year.
Customers in Liverpool can choose from more than 15,000 items with Prime Now, including essentials such as nappies, coffee, chocolate and fresh milk, as well as other popular items like games consoles, toys, gifts and sports equipment—all via a simple and easy-to-use mobile app. Prime Now customers in selected postcodes can choose delivery 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.
“Prime Now is our fastest delivery option ever and we are excited to make it available for customers in Liverpool,” said Jason Weston, director of Prime Now. “Whether it’s essentials like fresh milk, nappies or even a last minute gift, customers love the convenience of delivery straight to their door in less than sixty minutes.”
Deliveries will be made from the Amazon Logistics’ delivery station in Speke, Liverpool. The urgent delivery service was already introduced in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle last year.
Prime Now is made available through Amazon Logistics which empowers independent local, regional and national delivery companies across the UK to deliver Amazon parcels to customers seven days a week.
Amazon Prime, with an annual membership fee of £79, is a popular service with millions of members in the UK. In addition to ultra-fast delivery, Prime members also benefit from One-Day Delivery on over a million products on Amazon.co.uk, access to more than 15,000 popular movies and TV episodes through Prime Video, access to one million songs to stream and download through Prime Music, unlimited photo storage in Amazon Cloud Drive and access to one million Kindle books to borrow.
