John Boumphrey, UK country manager of Amazon, said: “Amazon Now brings a new level of speed and convenience to customers, delivering thousands of groceries and household essentials in less than 30 minutes.

 “It’s the latest example of our commitment to faster delivery, building on the millions of items we already deliver the same or next day to customers across the UK.”

The service is available seven days a week in selected postcodes across Central and East Manchester through the Amazon website or app. Running across 35 categories, it includes everyday essentials like milk, eggs, fresh fruit and veg, toothpaste, pet treats, nappies, and medicines.

Amazon Now delivery fees start at £1.99 per order for Prime members (£3.99 for non-Prime members), with free delivery on orders over £20. A £2 fee applies to all orders under £15, irrespective of membership status.

Amazon has previously committed to investing £40 billion in the UK from 2025 to 2027.
