Amazon has raised the bar for fast delivery with same-day delivery for millions of Prime members.

Amazon has announced it is on track to deliver at its fastest speeds ever for Prime members globally in 2024, with more of its total items arriving the same or next day than ever before.

In the UK, same-day delivery is available for millions of products in 81 towns and cities. Prime members across the UK can enjoy free same-day deliveries on a wide selection of products, including items from Amazon brands and independent local businesses, with the number of items delivered same-day doubling since 2023.

An Amazon spokesperson said: "We know Prime members love being able to order a huge range of products with fast delivery that they count on, and that's why we're continuing to innovate and invest to further accelerate delivery speeds across the country. "

Across the UK, some of the most popular items ordered by Prime members for same-day delivery include plastic-free water wipes in London, Amazon Fire TV sticks in Manchester, ink cartridges in Swansea, and hydrating serum in Nottingham.

The latest order placed in the UK and delivered on the same day so far this year was to a customer in Leeds, who ordered silicone chocolate bar moulds and pistachio spread at 8:30pm, and had them before 10pm.
