Amazon has announced that customers in the UK can use a new ‘Pass My Parcel’ same-day collection service.
Amazon Prime members will be able to use the new same day collection option free of charge.Non-Prime members will be able to use it for £4.99 per delivery.
Customers ordering products on Amazon will be able to buy online up to 11.45am and collect at one of 500 locations from 4pm the same day.
In addition to Same-Day collection, customers also have the option of Express Morning collection with orders placed up to 7.45pm being available for guaranteed collection the next morning – their parcel will be delivered from 6.30am and no later than 9am depending on the store opening time.
Same-day deliveries initially be available in more than 500 newsagents and other local stores before Christmas, but the company intends to increase the number of pick-up points over the course of the next year.
“We have recently added Birmingham International Airport and a number of London tube stations to our ever-expanding list of pick-up locations,” continued Christopher North. “Our intention is to keep rapidly adding to the many thousands of existing pick-up locations to ensure that customers all over the UK are provided with as much choice as possible when it comes to the delivery of their Amazon order.”
