Amazon expands Prime Now one-hour delivery to Newcastle and North East
Amazon has expanded its Prime Now service to Newcastle and surrounding postcodes in Gateshead, Durham and Sunderland.
The service, which launched for Prime members in London and Birmingham earlier this year, offers one-hour delivery on thousands of everyday essentials such as coffee, batteries and nappies, as well items such as games consoles, toys and sports equipment.
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.
“We’re thrilled to expand our one-hour delivery service to Newcastle, our latest Prime Now city in the UK,” said Christopher North, managing director at Amazon.co.uk. “We have already received great response from Prime Now customers in London and Birmingham and we’ve seen high demand on everything from essentials such as nappies and toiletries to must-have video games and toys—we are excited to delivering to more customers in record-breaking time.”
Customers in Newcastle and surrounding areas will have access to more than 15,000 products including a new range of chilled and frozen food items such as Chicago Town pizzas, Birds Eye fish fingers and Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream.
Deliveries will be made from Amazon Logistics’ delivery station in Gateshead.
