Amazon partners GoPuff for ultra-fast UK grocery delivery
Amazon has teamed up with delivery firm GoPuff to provide customers with grocery and home essentials delivery across the UK described as 'ultra-fast'. The partnership enables shoppers to receive items such as fresh food, cleaning supplies, baby essentials, snacks and alcohol within an hour, with the possibility of delivery in as little as 15 minutes. The service utilises GoPuff's micro-fulfilment centres, strategically positioned near customers to ensure rapid delivery. These centres are critical to the service, allowing for a wide range of products to be available for order 24/7 in most locations. Amazon grocery partnerships director Russell Jones stated: 'We are always working to give customers more choice and more convenient options to have their groceries delivered. 'Partnering with GoPuff and other grocery partners is an important way of offering Amazon customers their favourite stores and brands, ordered via our website. The new launch with GoPuff brings our customers access to a convenient and affordable way to access their everyday groceries.' Following initial launches in Birmingham and Salford in May, 2025 the service is now available in areas such as Birmingham, Cambridge, Manchester, Newcastle and Swansea. Amazon's partnership with GoPuff is the latest in a series of collaborations with UK retailers, beginning with Morrisons in 2015 and later including Iceland and Co-op. In July 2025, Amazon announced its plan to invest £40bn ($53.7bn) in the UK between 2025 and 2027 to construct four new fulfilment centres and delivery stations across the country.

Amazon rolls out Gopuff ultra-fast grocery deliveries across UK
The launch means shoppers can order thousands of grocery products including alcohol, snacks and fresh food at any time of day. Gopuff promises same-day delivery from local 'micro-fulfilment centres' – with orders arriving in under an hour and as fast as 15 minutes, available all day, every day. The Pennsylvania-based company was one of a clutch of ultra-fast grocery delivery companies that expanded quickly during the Covid-19 pandemic when lockdowns heightened consumer demand. Turkey-based rival Getir pulled out of the UK, Europe and the US last year after its finances came under pressure and it kickstarted a cost-cutting drive. Amazon's UK roll-out of Gopuff follows an initial launch to residents in Birmingham and Salford in May. The service is now available in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chessington, Coventry, Derby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Salford, Sheffield and Swansea. It joins grocery retailers Morrisons and Iceland, which are available to Amazon's UK customers. Russell Jones, Amazon's director of grocery partnerships, said: 'We are always working to give customers more choice and more convenient options to have their groceries delivered. 'The new launch with Gopuff brings our customers access to a convenient and affordable way to access their everyday groceries.'

Amazon offers 15-minute food and drink deliveries via GoPuff deal - has it launched in your area?
Amazon now offers 15-minute grocery deliveries in areas across Britain as part of a new partnership with US firm GoPuff. The US tech giant said shoppers can order thousands of grocery products, including fresh food and alcohol, for delivery from local 'micro-fulfilment centres'. Orders are available for arrival in under an hour and as fast as 15 minutes, available all day, every day, according to Amazon. Pennsylvania-based GoPuff was one of many ultra-fast grocery delivery companies that expanded quickly during the pandemic when lockdowns heightened consumer demand. Turkey-based rival Getir pulled out of the UK, Europe and the US last year after its finances came under pressure and it kickstarted a cost-cutting drive. Amazon's new UK offering follows an initial launch in May, with services rolled out to residents in Birmingham and Salford. The service is now available in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chessington, Coventry, Derby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Salford, Sheffield and Swansea. It joins grocery retailers Morrisons and Iceland, which are available to Amazon's UK customers. The online share of UK food sales skyrocketed during the pandemic, but has since stabilised. Around 9 per cent of all food retail sales were made online as of December 2024, compared to a 2021 peak of 12 per cent, according to Statistica. Russell Jones, Amazon's director of grocery partnerships, said: 'We are always working to give customers more choice and more convenient options to have their groceries delivered.
