Amazon to expand the service to other parts of the UK in the coming months

LONDON – 5 November 2015 – Amazon.co.uk today launched Prime Same Day, offering Prime members free same-day delivery on one million items. The service is now available in Greater London and parts of Hertfordshire and Berkshire, and will expand into a number of other areas of the UK in the coming months.

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. The service is available to residential addresses within the M25 motorway, as well as AL, HP and SL postcodes.

“We know how important speed of delivery is to our Prime customers and we’ve been continuing to invest in our delivery network to offer even more fast delivery options. We are excited to launch our newest benefit for Prime members – free same-day delivery on one million items.  This is on top of all the other Prime benefits, like unlimited streaming of movies and music, unlimited photo storage and more,” said Christopher North, Managing Director of Amazon.co.uk.
