What is Amazon Fresh and where can you get it delivered?

(Pocket-lint) – Amazon has a service called Amazon Fresh, it allows users to shop online in the UK, and in some areas it even offers same-day deliveries. Plus, the service is free for Prime members on orders over £ 40.

This matches the offer in the United States, which was made free for Prime subscribers at the end of 2019.

But what is Amazon Fresh and where does it ship? We answer all your questions below.

What is Amazon Fresh?

Amazon Fresh is the online retailer’s grocery store service that hosts thousands of food, drink and household products to be delivered within two hours, even when ordered the same day.

In the UK, it operates in cooperation with the Morrisons supermarket chain, as well as with WholeFoods, Booths and various local stores and markets.

Suppliers in the United States vary by city. One cool feature you get in the US is that you can create an Alexa shopping list and add to it by voice throughout the day, then simply order hands-free.

When is it delivered?

Delivery times can be selected between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. in the UK with same day orders available provided they are booked before 9:00 p.m.

Service is slightly different in the United States, as time slots and same day delivery may vary by region.

Where can you get Amazon Fresh deliveries?

In the UK, Amazon Fresh deliveries are currently available in Greater London and several surrounding counties, including the areas of Surrey, Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.

You can check the qualifying UK postcodes here. However, Amazon hopes to eventually expand Amazon Fresh deliveries across the UK.

Amazon Fresh is available in “select cities” in the United States. You can check if your region is eligible by going to the main Fresh page and selecting your delivery postcode at the top left.

How much does Amazon Fresh cost?

Individual product prices are competitive, but shipping costs are even better as they were recently removed for Amazon Prime members.

So with a Prime subscription of £ 79 per year (or £ 7.99 per month), you can place as many Amazon Fresh orders as you want at no additional cost, as long as they are a minimum of £ 40 per order.

Under £ 40 and you will have to pay the original delivery charge of £ 3.99. You also pay the delivery costs if you opt for a one-hour delivery window.

Prime membership in the US costs £ 119 per year or $ 12.99 per month. Orders over $ 35 placed by American Prime members will be delivered free of charge to eligible areas.

It’s worth remembering that Prime membership adds a whole host of other benefits as well, including free one-day deliveries to millions of Amazon items, Amazon Prime Video streaming, Prime Reading eBooks, and many more. You can read more about the different services included with Prime here.

How do you use Amazon Fresh?

Using Fresh is simple. Just go to the dedicated section of Amazon, UK here or US here, and search for your products. Add them to your cart as usual on Amazon, and then, when done, you can proceed to checkout, as long as your shipping address is in one of the supported regions.

As Amazon Fresh is part of Amazon’s regular shopping experience, users will need to be careful not to accidentally order from Amazon Pantry or the main Amazon store. An easy way to do this is to make sure the search bar at the top says “search Amazon Fresh.”
