Amazon has introduced free pick-up for purchases in the UK, as an alternative to Prime membership or the £20 minimum spend for free Super Saver delivery.
Pick-up has been an option for Amazon customers since 2011, but this is the first time its been offered for free. Theres still a catch, though – orders have to cost £20, or £10 for books, to be eligible.
There are over 13,000 locations which support pick-up in the UK, including train stations, newsagents and 300 Amazon Lockers. The retailer also offers same-day collection from nearly 700 stores through a collaboration with newspaper distributor Smiths News, which costs £4.99 – or free to Prime members.
