Birmingham becomes first location outside London to receive Amazon’s one-hour delivery service
Amazon today announced that Prime Now has expanded to Birmingham and selected postcodes in surrounding areas. The ultra-fast service, which recently launched for Prime members in London, offers one-hour delivery on thousands of items, through a mobile app.
The service launches today in Birmingham and in selected postcodes which surround the city including Lichfield, Cannock and Tamworth. Prime Now launched in London in June and will be introduced in additional UK cities by the end of the year.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1438884785331{margin: 0px !important;border-width: 0px !important;padding: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
“Customers in London already benefit from ultra-fast delivery with Prime Now and we are delighted to bring this innovative service to Birmingham and selected postcodes in surrounding areas only five weeks after our London launch,†said Christopher North, Managing Director of Amazon UK.
“Since launching Prime Now, we’ve seen high demand on everything from essentials like bottled water, coffee and nappies to must-have products like the latest video games and devices – all available for delivery in less than 60 minutes. We are excited to continue delivering to customers in record-breaking time.â€Â
The fastest London Prime Now delivery to date was a NETGEAR Wi-Fi Range Extender which was ordered at 10:32am, shipped from Amazon’s Bow delivery station and delivered at 10:44am to a postcode in Canary Wharf.
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. Prime Now customers 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.
