Amazon is Offering Prime Members Free Two Hour Grocery Delivery
Well there’s another reason to get an Amazon Prime membership now. Free grocery delivery.
The e-commerce giant announced this week that it will start delivering grocery products within a two-hour window to all Prime members living in the 2,000 regions eligible for the service.
For a $119 per year Prime membership in the U.S., you are able to get free grocery shipments for products ranging from fresh meats and veggies to snacks. You also get free shipping on many products and other benefits, like Prime Video and Music.
Prior to this change, Prime members had to shell out $14.99 a month in order to access Amazon Fresh for grocery deliveries.
Amazon’s VP of Grocery Delivery Stephanie Landry told CNBC that groceries have been one of the fastest growing segments at Amazon, and the new program would effectively make Amazon Fresh a free benefit for all Prime members.
“I think that this offering is truly a game-changer and that this is going to grow into one of the most beloved benefits of Prime,” Landry said.
“Every time we invest in the services that customers love, we expect that to grow sales for sure,” Landry said. “We’re really happy in investing in this offer so that Prime members are using us even more.“
There was no timeline given for when free grocery delivery will be rolled out to all Prime members without an invite.
