Amazon rolls out Gopuff ultra-fast grocery deliveries across UK

Amazon rolls out Gopuff ultra-fast grocery deliveries across UK

Glasgow Times12 hours ago
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.'

‘Air Miles Andy' free to end travel ban after FBI closes probe into Prince's links with paedo tycoon Jeffrey Epstein

The Duke will feel it's safe to travel again without the FBI investigation hanging over his head CLEARED FOR TAKE-OFF 'Air Miles Andy' free to end travel ban after FBI closes probe into Prince's links with paedo tycoon Jeffrey Epstein PRINCE Andrew can end his self-imposed travel ban and return to being 'Air Miles Andy' after a leaked memo revealed the FBI is closing its investigation into his Jeffrey Epstein links. The terrified Duke, 65, has hunkered down at Royal Lodge in Windsor for six years fearing arrest if he left the UK.

But without the FBI investigation hanging over his head he will feel it's safe to travel. 'He has always been very nervous about going abroad and felt he'd always be looking over his shoulder as he could be subject to civil action or at worst, being arrested. 'Hopefully with this out of the way it means he can at least leave the country. Advertisement 'What's he supposed to do with the rest of his life? He hasn't been convicted of any crime and can't sit around doing nothing at Royal Lodge forever.' The Duke was dubbed Air Miles Andy amid criticism of his globe-trotting and use of helicopters and planes at taxpayers' expense. He racked up huge bills while a working royal and UK trade envoy. But his only recent trip abroad was on a private jet to Bahrain in 2022. Advertisement Earlier this year The Sun revealed he was flogging access to former business contacts around the globe in a commercial deal with Dutch-based firm Startupbootcamp. Under the agreement, Andy gets cash for passing on links he gained through defunct global scheme Pitch@Palace, mainly in East Asia. Virginia Giuffre's lawyer sobs with 'disbelief' at Andrew accuser's death Arrest fears meant he has been unable to meet his contacts. Andrew had said he would be prepared to speak to the FBI and 'willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency' after convicted paedophile Epstein died in 2019. Advertisement Six months later US prosecutors said he had 'provided zero co-operation'. The Sun then revealed the Department of Justice applied to the Home Office to speak to Andrew via a mutual legal assistance request used only in criminal investigations. Their investigation was paused last year. Andrew has always denied claims by Virginia Giuffre that he abused her when she was 17. Advertisement Without accepting any wrongdoing, in 2022 he paid her £12million with the late Queen's help. Ms Giuffre was found dead at her Australia farm in April aged 41.
