Amazon Australia is rolling out Prime Free Same-Day delivery across South East Queensland for the first time, giving Prime members in Brisbane and the Gold Coast access to hundreds of thousands of products delivered the same-day at no extra cost on eligible orders over $49.

A vast selection of products across categories including everyday essentials, small appliances and electronics, home and kitchen, beauty, books, toys, clothes, shoes and more are eligible for Same-Day Delivery.

Brisbane Prime members order before bed, get before breakfast

Prime members in Brisbane can start receiving orders in “as little as” five hours, with three new delivery windows to choose from. As the service rolls out, this means customers can order from hundreds of thousands of products before bed (10pm) and have them waiting at their door before 8am, order before breakfast and have it by the afternoon, or order at lunch and have it by the evening – delivering “faster speed, greater choice, and more control,” says Amazon Australia.

To find eligible items, Prime members can look for items marked with Prime delivery and available delivery time slots on product detail pages on the Amazon app or website, including:

• Overnight Delivery – “Get it overnight”, “Prime Overnight” or “Get it Tomorrow by 8am”. Order by 10pm and it’s at your door between 4am and 8am, ready before work or the school run. “Overnight deliveries are left quietly at your designated safe location without knocking or ringing the doorbell, so you can wake up to your order without being disturbed.”
• Afternoon Same-Day Delivery – “Fastest Delivery: Today” or “Get it Today by 6pm”. Order by 8am and receive it between 2pm and 6pm. “Order over breakfast, get it by the afternoon.”
• Evening Same-Day Delivery – “Get it Today by 10pm”. Order by 12 noon and receive it between 5pm and 10pm. “Order over lunch, get it by bedtime.”

Gold Coast: Need it today? Order by 11 am and it’s at your door by tonight

Residents on the Goldie will start accessing Amazon’s Prime Free Same-Day Delivery service and order as late as 11am from hundreds of thousands of eligible items, for delivery before 10pm that day. Gold Coast Prime members can look for items marked “Get it Today by 10pm” on product detail pages on the Amazon app or website.

Amazon Prime, APAC Director Arno Lenior said, “Speed and convenience are at the heart of our delivery investment in Australia. We’re seeing more demand from customers for fast and convenient delivery that fits within their busy lives, and we’re excited to start bringing that to Queensland Prime members today with the rollout of Same-Day and overnight delivery.

“We’re proud to o er a diverse selection of products across these windows, so whether you need a small kitchen appliance, a set of headphones for your commute, or a present for a last-minute birthday party, we’ve got you covered.”

Amazon’s continued investment in Australia

Seven out of ten (72%) Australians can now access free next-day delivery or faster with Amazon Prime. Brisbane joins Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in accessing Amazon’s fastest delivery speeds, while the Gold Coast joins Canberra, Geelong, the Central Coast, and Newcastle with same-day delivery. One-day delivery is available in 12 locations nationally, and Prime members in all other eligible locations benefit from free delivery in as fast as two days.

“These new speed options come as new research from YouGov commissioned by Amazon Australia have found in Brisbane, over two thirds of (67%) of Brisbane residents traditionally wait three business days or more for online purchases to arrive,” according to Amazon Australia. “While almost eight in ten (78%) say free and/or fast delivery is one of the most important factors when making an online purchase.

“As for those in the Gold Coast, two thirds (66%) of Gold Coast residents traditionally wait three business days or more for online purchases to arrive. While almost eight in ten (79%) say free and/or fast delivery is one of the most important factors when making an online purchase.”

Amazon Australia aims to expand product selection, delivery areas, and delivery speed options to provide more Australian Prime members access to even more products, faster. Since 2011, Amazon has invested more than $35 billion across all its businesses in Australia, including investments that continue improving the delivery experience for customers.

Same-Day and Overnight Delivery also benefit selling partners by getting their products into the hands of customers faster. All products enrolled in Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) are eligible for Prime delivery, meaning selling partners in the program may see their products delivered to Prime members in Brisbane and the Gold Coast the very same day – or overnight.
