Supermarkets on Amazon. While Amazon already stocks a whole host of different food and drinks, they have now decided to link up with Morrisons. That means customers can now do their Morrisons shopping on Amazon. But there is a catch. The shopper has to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the free delivery option when ordering £40 or more worth of shopping.
And potentially getting same day delivery if you can get your order in before 7pm. However, this is not guaranteed, it's subject to availability. So if its really busy, your shopping may not get to you from anywhere between 1 and a few days.
To find out more information, or to browse the Amazon Morrisons product range, go to the store homepage.
This is very similar to just buying directly from Morrisons, as they already deliver door-to-door, and delivery is sometimes free when ordering £40 or over. When its not free its pretty cheap anyway, and there are always delivery slots available that will have the shopping at a customers door from within 2 - 5 days.
So yeah, for people who already have Prime, this is just another option if all the delivery slots when ordering directly from Morrisons are full and they want to try their luck with this new alternative option.
But for people who don't have Prime but already shop online with Morrisons I can't see many of them paying for Prime in order to use a service that is almost identical to them shopping directly with Morrisons. Other than the potentially faster delivery which, as mentioned, is not a definite, what's different.
And with many people cutting back on services and subscriptions of all kinds to save money [Netflix recently lost a few hundred thousand subscribers I believe] mostly probably due to the rising costs of living, it's hard to see many them signing up to Prime for the sole purpose of taking advantage of shopping with Morrisons but through Amazon.
With all things considered, I'm sure at least some new and existing Prime members will be trying this out, and who knows, it might just take off if Amazon can consistently bang out those orders as fast as lightning. Because we all know how impatient society has become, people want it and they want it now!
