Amazon launches one-hour deliveries in Birmingham

Amazon has extended its Prime Now one-hour delivery service to Birmingham.

The service, which launched in June for Amazon Prime members in London, offers one-hour delivery on thousands of everyday items such as coffee, batteries and nappies, as well items such as games consoles, toys and sports equipment.

In addition to Birmingham, the service will be offered in selected postcodes surrounding the city including Lichfield, Cannock and Tamworth.

Amazon is planning to launch the service in additional UK cities later this year.

Christopher North, managing director of Amazon UK, said: “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.

“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.”
