Amazon offers 15-minute food and drink deliveries via GoPuff deal - has it launched in your area?
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.
'The new launch with GoPuff brings our customers access to a convenient and affordable way to access their everyday groceries.'

Apple's new iPhone 16e is at its cheapest price ever ahead of Amazon Prime Day
Amazon's Prime Day sale kicks off on July 8, but the retailer has already slashed the price of Apple's latest iPhone Apple's latest iPhone is available for a record low price at Amazon ahead of the Prime Day sale. The sales event runs from July 8-11, but the iPhone 16e has already been reduced from £599 to £549 in an early deal. The deal is for the 128GB model and marks the cheapest ever price for the handset, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. Shoppers can pick up the phone in a choice of black or white, with the same discount available at retailers including Argos and Very. The iPhone 16e is the latest Apple smartphone to hit the shelves, released in February as a budget-friendly version of the standard iPhone 16. Apple says the 16e offers 'powerful capabilities at a more affordable price' thanks to Apple's latest-generation A18 chip. The phone boasts a 6.1' display and countless AI features with Apple Intelligence, including the ability to remove objects from images and ChatGPT integrated into Writing Tools and Siri. It also has a 48MP Fusion camera capable of capturing super-high-resolution photos and a dual camera system that can take crystal-clear images regardless of the time of day. Other standout features include 4K video capture with Dolby Vision and new safety options like Emergency SOS and Roadside Assistance. For those who prefer to spread the cost of their tech, Sky Mobile is also offering the iPhone 16e at its lowest-ever price of £18 when paired with a Sky data plan. However, bagging this price means committing to a 36-month plan. Amazon customers have awarded the iPhone 16e a 4.5-star rating, with some saying it 'performs like a high-end phone'. One satisfied shopper said: 'I'm no expert but this is great value for money. Slim and handles nice. Transfer of data, photos, apps from my other phone was easy. Live videos are flicker, stutter and buffering free. Excellent quality photos. Performs like a high-end phone. I am extremely pleased with this.' Another said: 'While this is the entry-level model, it still looks and feels very premium. The battery is great and has lasted more than a day on most occasions. Being one of the latest models, you'll get greater and longer support than if you went with an iPhone 14 at around the same price.' However, this shopper was disappointed that – like many modern phones – the iPhone 16e does not come with a mains plug: 'Doesn't come with a wall adapter for the charging cable, so I have no way of actually charging it, apart from buying a separate wall charger.' But another five-star review says: 'Great specs, Apple Intelligence compatible, definitely the quality you'd expect from Apple. For some the lower end specs of the camera and the lack of Magsafe charging might be an issue, but as someone who doesn't use the camera often it was no big deal. All in all this is a fabulous phone, and I would definitely consider buying future versions instead of the high end spec iPhones. This really is a great phone.'

First Brits get access to £10 a month ‘superfast internet' trial with Wi-Fi EIGHT times faster than average UK broadband
GIFFGAFF has finally launched its trial for a new speedy 500Mbps broadband service in the UK. But in a rare turn of events, initial service speeds appear to be delivering better than the headline rate of 500Mbps, according to ISPreview. Using nexfibre and Virgin Media's 10Gbps capable full fibre networks, GiffGaff is only the second provider after Virgin to harness nexfibre's new wholesale network. The network is currently available to over 2 million UK premises. However, the trial, which was first confirmed back in mid-April 2025, is only opening up to 500 Brits to begin with. Fortunately, that doesn't include the small pool of trialists that tested the service before. The trial will run for 12 months and offer triallists a heavily discounted broadband price of just £10 per month. That's not bad for 500Mbps - which is roughly eight times faster than the average UK broadband speed. According to the first customers, the package gives households a proper IP address, delivers symmetric speeds and some of the exterior kit appears to retain Virgin Media's branding. But there is no IPv6 yet, which offers more built-in security features than the older IPv4 used by the majority of broadband providers, including Virgin Media. There is no GiffGaff branded kit to accompany the service yet either. Customers appear to be receiving an Arcadyan Technology-build Wi-Fi hubs, or Amazon's Eero 6+ routers. It is unclear whether GiffGaff will allow customers to use a third-party router. According to ISPreview, it looks possible to use the hardware you have already installed, just with GiffGaff's new trial service. Faster packages and different pricing are expected to follow the trial. Although we don't yet know what those packages will look like, or when they will be available to customers.
