Amazon extends one-hour delivery service to Birmingham

Amazon.co.uk has extended its Prime Now one-hour delivery service to Birmingham, following a successful launch in London in June.

The service, which offers one-hour delivery on thousands of everyday items such as coffee, batteries and nappies, as well items such as games consoles, toys and sports equipment, will be available to all of Birmingham, as well as selected postcodes surrounding the city including Lichfield, Cannock and Tamworth.

One-hour delivery costs 6 pounds 99 pence but customers have to sign up to the Prime service first.

Christopher North, managing director of Amazon UK, said: “Customers in London already benefit from ultra-fast delivery with Prime Now and we are delighted to bring this innovative service to Birmingham and selected postcodes in surrounding areas only five weeks after our London launch.

“Since launching Prime Now, we’ve seen high demand on everything from essentials like bottled water, coffee and nappies to must-have products like the latest video games and devices – all available for delivery in less than 60 minutes. We are excited to continue delivering to customers in record-breaking time.”
