Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced a new grocery delivery
subscription benefit now available to Prime members and customers
using EBT in more than 3,500 cities and towns across the U.S. At
$9.99 per month for Prime members, this subscription offers
unlimited grocery delivery on orders over $35 from Amazon Fresh,
Whole Foods Market, and a variety of local grocery and specialty
retailers on Amazon.com, and provides access to even more
convenient delivery and pickup options. Customers with a registered
EBT card can experience the same grocery subscription benefits
without a Prime membership for just $4.99 per month. A free 30-day
trial is available so customers can see how this grocery delivery
subscription works for them.
“This new grocery subscription benefit provides even more value
and savings on delivery fees for customers who regularly order
groceries from Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and the variety of
local grocery and specialty retailers on Amazon.com,” said Tony
Hoggett, senior vice president of worldwide grocery stores at
Amazon. “Our goal is to build a best-in-class grocery shopping
experience—whether shopping in-store or online—where Amazon is the
first choice for selection, value, and convenience. We have many
different customers with many different needs, and we want to save
them time and money every time they shop for groceries.”
For customers who prefer to purchase their groceries more
regularly—whether ordering delivery or pickup—this new grocery
benefit will save them even more time and money on Amazon’s vast
selection of nearly 100,000 grocery items across Amazon Fresh,
Whole Foods Market, and local grocery and specialty retailers. Here
are the details:
- For $9.99 per month, Prime members in more than 3,500 cities
and towns across the U.S. have access to unlimited grocery delivery
on orders over $35 from Whole Foods Market, Amazon Fresh, and the
variety of local grocery and specialty retailers available on
Amazon.com. Prime members who subscribe to the new grocery delivery
subscription benefit will also continue to enjoy exclusive savings
in Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market stores—on top of all the
other savings, convenience, and entertainment that come with
Prime—in one single membership.
- As part of Amazon's work to help low-income customers more
affordably shop for groceries, customers with a registered EBT card
can receive a discounted subscription fee of $4.99 per month to
receive the grocery delivery subscription without a Prime
membership.
- Subscribers will also have access to unlimited delivery for
orders over $35 from local grocery and specialty retailers like
Cardenas Markets, Save Mart, Bartell Drugs, Rite Aid, Pet Food
Express, Mission Wine & Spirits, and more where available.
- Grocery delivery subscribers receive convenient delivery and
pickup time slots for grocery orders from Whole Foods Market and
Amazon Fresh. This includes one-hour delivery windows at no extra
cost where available, unlimited 30-minute pickup on orders of any
size, and priority access to Recurring Reservations for their
weekly grocery order.
- The subscription pays for itself in as little as one delivery
order per month from Whole Foods Market, or one delivery order per
month from Amazon Fresh for under $50.
Amazon piloted its grocery subscription with Prime members in
Columbus, Ohio; Denver, Colorado; and Sacramento, California, in
late 2023. In a recent survey of grocery subscribers from the
pilot, more than 85% of respondents shared that they are extremely
or very satisfied with the unlimited free delivery benefit. Some of
the top reasons customers shared for staying a subscriber following
the trial were saving money on delivery fees and the service making
their grocery shopping experience more convenient.
