Amazon Food Free Delivery

Post by jennyjj01 »

Well, I'll be damned!
Browsing ItsyBitsy's link to tinned tuna on amazon, I saw this promoted.

WHAT!???
I can get ONE aubergine delivered free with amazon prime for only 96p???
That's just weird. I know that amazon have a deal with Morrisons, but that has a min order value of £40

So, a quick mooch around for amazon branded food...
.... It turns out that amazon have a pretty good range of foods, including fresh food, chilled meat, eggs and dairy and it's all with free next business day delivery for amazon prime members. NO Minimum Order!!!
The branding is 'by Amazon'

Prices are really very good too!
E.g. Fresh chicken breast £7.22/kg
semi skimmed milk 90p/l

Has anyone tried this it?

I'm tempted to buy a single aubergine to test it out.

I know that when my youngest nephew and his wife lived in Wandsworth, they used Amazon Prime like a corner shop - literally buying as and when needed, and it would be with them later the same day. Now they have a baby, they plan a bit more, but it seemed to be quite a normal thing. Not to me :mrgreen:

That's interesting. When I first looked, everything was £40 min order, but then I clicked on an item and on 'another way to pay' and there was no min order. I think the min order is just for same day delivery.

Decent whisky for £16 for 1 litre. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MEK24L2/

Ordered 2!

Will try the milk in a few days, just got a litre from Aldi plus a loaf of bread and Aldi coffee (which isn't great but I used 50-50 with Nescafe Azera (bought on subscription off Amazon in 500 tins, decanted into 6 small ones), teaspoon of each.

There are items sold by with the brand 'by amazon' which are free prime delivery. The £40 min order items are a separate arrangement with Morrisons, which appears both as a brand and as a store.
While searching for foods, sometimes one set stubbornly dominates the listings. Sometimes they are side by side.

At checkout, the 'by amazon' stuff is 'next business day'
Surprisingly low listed stock availability. E.g. they currently only have 15 big bottles of milk. and 1 box of lasagne for the whole country.

It also makes me chuckle that you can tick "This is a gift" so they pack your aubergine discreetly with no identification on the package. I'm tempted to order one just for the hell of it.

Fresh may be supplied by Morrisons, or partly supplied by them, but it seens to be different from buying from Morrisons via Amazon. Image
Select both of these and they appear in two separate baskets: Morrisons and Fresh

Also, notice that they are only asking me to spend another £13

Do you need to have Prime to get the free delivery? We don’t have Prime as the wife prefers Netflix.

I try and shop as local as I can for bread, milk and meat but other stuff we get delivered.

I have Prime so impossible for me to know. You need to check it to see.
