Amazon Prime Now customers can make use of the partnership. They can do their whole grocery shop online, or via the Prime Now iOS and Android apps. Amazon delivers the order.
Doug Gurr, Amazon UK Country Manager, said:
We are committed to growing our grocery business so that we can continue to deliver what we know our customers will always care about – low prices, vast selection, and fast delivery – and our relationship with Morrisons is an important part of that long-term growth.
David Potts, the supermarket’s CEO, said that “Amazon has been a valued partner of Morrisons for over three years, and we are pleased to be expanding our relationship together.”
