Amazon’s ultra-fast delivery service now available in Manchester

The service was only previously available to London residents and launched earlier this year, and now Manchester is the second UK city able to use Amazon Now.

It offers thousands of groceries and household essentials in 30 minutes or less and is available seven days a week through the Amazon app and website.

Its investment in logistics and delivery capabilities means it can bring rapid delivery speeds for Prime members, with same-day and one-day delivery available on millions of items. 

The Manchester launch builds on Amazon’s announcement of a £40bn investment in the UK from 2025 to 2027 to create thousands of jobs across the country and drive innovation.

Amazon UK country manager John Boumphrey said: “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.”
