We all know Amazon Prime’s 1 working day delivery, which is what popularized the service among French consumers. However, did you know that Amazon is also capable of delivering to you the same evening for an order placed a few hours before? It seems completely crazy, but it has really existed for several years, however, the number of French cities was limited to 6. Today, Amazon announces adding 4 new cities that can have same-day deliveries.
Delivery within hours becomes reality in new cities in France
Amazon continues to improve its services for its Prime subscribers in France. Now, same-day delivery is expanding to new cities, allowing even more customers to receive their orders quickly. For several years, cities such as Paris, Lille, Lens-Liévin, Douai, Valenciennes and Hénin-Carvin have already benefited from this service. Today, Amazon France announcement that :
- Lyon
- Marseille
- Rouen
- Strasbourg
join the list of eligible cities. Good news for those who need a new product quickly and who cannot go to the store during opening hours because of their work.
For Amazon Prime members, three delivery options are available:
- Delivery within one working day : a standard for fast online orders.
- Same evening delivery : for orders placed during the day, delivery between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
- Scheduled delivery : possibility of defining a delivery day in advance according to your availability.
The same-day delivery service, which now covers ten major French cities, is intended to be a practical solution for those who wish to receive their packages quickly after a day of work. The delivery slots, between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., guarantee that the customer is present at home when receiving the package.
Eligibility conditions and delivery options
This express delivery is free for Prime members provided the order amount exceeds €25. Below this amount, a supplement of €3.99 is automatically applied before validation of the order. Amazon also gives you the choice of reception method:
- At home, for more comfort.
- At a relay point, a flexible option to collect your package from a merchant near your home.
- Via an Amazon Locker, for those who prefer quick and secure access without direct contact. We also find Amazon Lockers mainly in public transport stations.
To ensure ever shorter lead times and reliable deliveries, Amazon continues to invest in cutting-edge technologies, such as robotics and artificial intelligence. These innovations make it possible to optimize warehouse management and order flows, while improving delivery efficiency.
With this expansion of same-day delivery service, Amazon Prime becomes even more beneficial for its subscribers, especially those residing in major cities. As a reminder, the Amazon Prime subscription is available at €69.90/year and offers many more benefits than same day delivery. You can also benefit from Amazon Prime at no additional cost in the Freebox Ultra subscription.
