Amazon launches grocery deliveries in Newcastle with Prime Day food deals

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 7 – Amazon's partnership with GoPuff enables 15-minute grocery deliveries in 18 UK cities, meeting growing consumer demand for rapid service since the Covid-19 pandemic, officials said.

  • Amazon launched 15-minute grocery deliveries across the UK in partnership with US rapid delivery firm Gopuff, following May's initial launch in Birmingham and Salford.
  • This expansion came after Getir, a competitor from Turkey, exited the markets in the UK, Europe, and the US last year due to financial difficulties and efforts to reduce costs.
  • Gopuff offers same-day delivery from nearby micro-fulfillment hubs, with orders reaching customers in less than an hour and sometimes within just 15 minutes, operating continuously throughout the day across several cities in the UK.
  • Russell Jones, Amazon's director of grocery partnerships, emphasized their ongoing efforts to provide shoppers with a wider selection and easier delivery solutions. He noted that the partnership with Gopuff offers customers an affordable and straightforward way to shop for their daily groceries.
  • The expansion suggests Amazon aims to capture increased consumer demand for ultra-fast grocery delivery, a sector that expanded rapidly during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns.
