Morrisons and Amazon expand Prime Now grocery delivery service
Morrisons has announced that its partnership with Amazon will see an expansion of its same-day online grocery delivery service to Amazon Prime members.
The service will now cover most of London and more cities across the UK.
In March this year, the service operated from 17 Morrisons stores in eight cities including Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. From the end of May, this will be extended to over 40 stores nationwide.
David Potts, Morrisons chief executive said: “Expanding this fast home delivery service to more cities will help us to play our full part in feeding the nation. Through our conveniently located stores and the popular Amazon Prime Now service, more and more customers will be able to access deliveries to their doorstep at this very difficult time.”
Prime Now customers in 90% of Greater London postcodes as well as the UK’s ten other largest cities will now be able to order their Morrisons groceries on Prime Now and have their goods delivered by Amazon on the same day within a two-hour window.
Doug Gurr, Amazon UK country manager, said: “We are pleased to be able to support more customers through the expansion of Morrisons on Prime Now. The convenient service enables us to offer Morrisons high quality grocery selection to even more Prime members.”
Earlier this month, Morrisons introduced a new telephone shopping service for use by vulnerable and elderly people during the covid-19 crisis. Customers place orders with Morrisons over the phone and delivery is made the following day from their local store.
