There is some good news for Amazon Prime customers. They will give them the opportunity to
access the silver tier of Deliveroo Plus free of charge for one year. This
means that they will not have to pay anything for deliveries on orders that are
worth more than £25. The usual fee is £3.49 a month. As such, clients will be
able to make a saving of more than £40 per year.
If you are a Prime member and you wish to enjoy this
benefit, you just have to link your accounts on Amazon’s website. This project
comes more than two years after the e-commerce giant invested in Deliveroo. The former led a $575 million
funding round in the delivery firm. The latter used the money to expand
its engineering team and delivery reach. While Competition and Markets
Authority (CMA) was a bit sceptical about the deal, it was cleared last year.
Before working with Deliveroo, Amazon
tried to take on the restaurant delivery sector in the UK. Indeed, in 2015, it launched
its own such service in London. However, the market is very competitive and it
was unable to rival with UberEats and the rest. Thus, the facility, called
‘Amazon Restaurants’ was shut down two years later.
