Amazon Australia has expanded its Prime Free Same-Day service in Perth with three delivery windows: overnight delivery, afternoon same-day delivery and evening same-day delivery. Prime members can receive orders in “as little as” five hours at no extra cost on eligible orders over $49.

The new windows mean Prime members 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. This will give customers faster delivery speed, greater choice and more control over their deliveries.

The rollout expands on Amazon’s existing Prime Free Same-Day service available in Perth with shorter, more specific delivery windows on a huge selection of eligible products across categories including everyday essentials, small appliances and electronics, home and kitchen, beauty, books, toys, clothes, shoes, and more.

To find items eligible for Prime Free Same-Day delivery, 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.

Arno Lenior, Director of Prime for Amazon Australia, said, “Speed and convenience are at the heart of our delivery investment in Australia. Starting today, we’re rolling out new afternoon, evening, and overnight delivery windows to Perth Prime members on a huge selection of products.

“So, whether you’re ordering a last-minute birthday present before bed and finding it at your door by morning or grabbing a replacement at lunch and having it by evening customers will increasingly have the speed, selection, and flexibility to shop on their own terms, at no extra cost on eligible orders over $49.”

Amazon’s continued investment in Australia

Amazon now offers free same-day or faster delivery to Prime members in more locations than ever across Australia on eligible orders over $49. Seven out of ten (72%) customers can now access free next day delivery – or faster – with Amazon Prime. Perth Prime members now have access to Amazon’s fastest delivery speeds, alongside Sydney and Melbourne.

Prime members in Perth, Canberra, Geelong, the Central Coast, Newcastle, and the Hunter region can order as late as 11am for same-day delivery before 10pm. 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 has found over half (54%) of Perth residents typically wait three business days or more for online purchases to arrive. While more than eight in ten (83%) 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 programme may see their products delivered to Prime members in Perth “the very same day – or overnight”.
