"We value the great feedback from our customers over the past year, and it's helping us to continually improve AmazonFresh as we bring the service to more and more Prime members across London and the South East," said Ajay Kavan, Vice President, AmazonFresh International. "We have built on our momentum in the UK with the launch of AmazonFresh in Germany and Japan over the past couple of months and will keep working to expand selection, offer great value, and provide fast and convenient delivery options for all of our customers."

"Customers love the opportunity to have Lidgates delivered directly to their door with their weekly shop, and we're looking forward to bringing our fresh meats, sausages and pies to new customers in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire." Last summer Amazon launched Amazon Dash and Dash Buttons in the UK. Dash and Dash Buttons are quick and easy ways to order groceries and essentials from Amazon. Customers using Dash simply scan a product barcode or say the name of a product to add items automatically into their AmazonFresh basket, while Dash Buttons enable customers to re-order household essentials from more than 40 brands at the touch of a button. Customers can also add items to their grocery list using any Amazon Alexa enabled device including the Amazon Echo and the Echo Dot. AmazonFresh offers everyday low prices across its entire selection. All perishable products have a guaranteed minimum shelf life and, with Amazon's Freshness Guarantee, customers can receive a refund if they are unhappy with the quality of the products they receive. If an ordered item is not available on delivery, customers will not be charged for the item and will receive a free substitute product in its place.
