Amazon expands ultra-fast delivery service Amazon Now to Manchester

Amazon today announces that ultra-fast delivery service Amazon Now has launched in Manchester, offering thousands of groceries and household essentials in about 30 minutes or less. The expansion to Manchester marks the first city outside of London to get the service following the launch of Amazon Now in the capital earlier this year.

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.

– John Boumphrey, UK Country Manager, Amazon Fast Delivery on a Vast Selection Amazon Now is available seven days a week through the Amazon app and website, offering thousands of products across 35 categories delivered in about 30 minutes or less.

Customers in eligible Manchester postcodes can shop from a wide selection of items, including everyday essentials like milk, eggs, fresh fruit & veg, toothpaste, pet treats, nappies, medicines, and more, alongside local favourites from Kellogg’s, PG Tips, and Warburtons.

Amazon continues to invest in its logistics and delivery capabilities, with speed more important to customers than ever. Over the last few years, delivery speeds have accelerated for Prime members, with Same-Day and One-Day Delivery available on millions of items.

Delivering packages faster isn’t a matter of moving faster within facilities or in transport, but through Amazon’s continuous innovation across its operations network – including placing products closer to customers, meaning they have less distance to travel and can get there quicker.

Saving Money with Prime Prime members get discounted Amazon Now delivery fees starting at just £1. 99 per order (£3. 99 for non-Prime members) and free delivery on orders over £20, adding to the savings and benefits already available with Prime membership. A £2 fee applies to all orders under £15, regardless of membership.

Prime members already enjoy fast, free delivery on millions of items across all categories, year-round low prices across a wide selection of products, and access to exclusive deals and shopping events like Prime Day, as well as award-winning entertainment on Prime Video and Amazon Music.

Innovating across the UK Amazon Now is currently available to customers in select postcodes across Central and East Manchester. Customers in eligible Manchester postcodes can find Amazon Now in the menu at the top of the Amazon homepage or app.

More news about the offering will follow in the coming months, as Amazon continues to make shopping easier, faster, and more affordable for customers across the UK. Manchester’s launch builds on Amazon’s announcement of a £40 billion investment in the UK from 2025 to 2027, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to delivery innovation and customer convenience.

The overall investment will create thousands of jobs, and drive innovation across all UK operations.
