Amazon launches Prime Now in selected London areas

Amazon.co.uk has launched Prime Now, a new benefit for its Prime members, which offers one-hour delivery on over ten thousand items through a mobile app.

The service will enable Prime members to get daily essentials such as coffee, batteries and nappies, as well as items like games consoles, toys and sports equipment, delivered to their door in an hour or less.

Launched today in selected London postcodes, the service is expected to be rolled out to all of London and additional UK cities by the end of the year.

Christopher North, managing director of Amazon UK, said: “Millions of customers across London can use the Prime Now app today and discover over ten thousand items for one-hour delivery, or select a free two-hour, same-day delivery slot. This is just the beginning. London is our first Prime Now city in the UK and we are already working on making Prime Now available in more postcodes in London and beyond.”

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.
