Amazon is set to deliver groceries in the United
Kingdom. The American company is pulling out all the stops, as
from the launch of Amazon Fresh, customers will be able to order 130,000 items straight away.
This is a major step for Amazon, as it has never before
has the company delivered groceries outside the United States. A large part
of the country will still have to wait for the service to become available, as
Americans are initially limiting themselves to Central and East London. Amazon
will face competition in the UK market from Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Ocado, amongst others, all of which
that also deliver groceries to people’s homes.
subscriptionAmazon operates a subscription-based grocery delivery service. Customers pay seven pounds a month to use Amazon Fresh. If the value of the groceries ordered exceeds 40 pounds,
delivery charges are free.
According to the British newspaper The Daily Mail, Amazon also has
plans to enter the Australian market.
