AMAZON AUSTRALIA ANNOUNCES PRIME FREE SAME-DAY DELIVERY ON HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ITEMS FOR PRIME MEMBERS IN PERTH

New Same-Day Delivery Service NOW available to majority of people in Perth on hundreds of thousands of items on eligible orders over $49

Prime members can now order from hundreds of thousands of products as late as midday for delivery before 10pm that day, making it even more convenient to shop on Amazon.com.au – from click to doorstep within hours.

Hundreds of thousands of products across categories including everyday essentials, electronics, home and kitchen, beauty, video games, books, toys, clothes, shoes and more are now eligible for Same-Day Delivery. To find items eligible for Prime Free Same-Day Delivery, Prime members can look for items marked with Prime delivery 'Today by 10pm’ or the ‘Prime Same-Day’ badge on product detail pages on the Amazon App or website.

Janet Menzies, Country Manager for Amazon Australia, said, “We’re committed to making delivery for Prime members even faster, and we’re excited to announce a game-changing milestone for the people of Perth with the launch of Free Same-Day Delivery across a wide range of products. Australians’ expectations on delivery have changed and that is reflected in our numbers with an over 40% increase in same and next-day deliveries between 2023 and 2024”

"For Prime members in Perth, we're now delivering the products they want and need faster than ever—delivering as quickly as the same afternoon or evening. We’re incredibly proud of the diverse selection of products available for Same-Day Delivery, so whether you need a new phone charger, a set of headphones for your commute, or even a birthday present for the kids’ party you may have forgotten, we’ve got you covered."

Amazon Australia aims to expand product selection and delivery areas eligible for Amazon’s Prime Free Same-Day Delivery and One-Day Delivery, to provide more Australian Prime members access to even more products, faster. Prime members outside of Same-Day or One-Day eligible locations can still benefit from free delivery in as fast as two days on eligible orders.

Prime is Amazon’s membership program providing savings, convenience, and entertainment in a single membership. Customers who have not tried Prime can unlock a 30-day free trial at amazon.com.au/prime to access the many year-round benefits. From day one of membership, members in eligible postcodes will have access to free delivery on millions of local and international Prime eligible items, with Free Same-Day Delivery on eligible orders over $49 in Sydney and now Perth and Free One-Day Delivery for the majority of Prime members across the country; access to exclusive deals and shopping event such as Prime Day which will take place in July 2025; access to Amazon Original series and films on Prime Video such as Fallout, Road House, The Boys S1-4, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Idea of You, Reacher, The Summer I Turned Pretty and Australian Amazon Original series; The Narrow Road to the Deep North, The Test S1-3, Deadloch, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, The Office and upcoming series Top End Bub alongside other popular movies and TV shows; access to 100 million songs in shuffle mode with Amazon Music and more. Prime members can now also access a 24-month DoorDash DashPass membership for free (AU$239 value), and benefit from unlimited AU$0 delivery fees on eligible DoorDash orders.

Amazon’s continued investment in Australia for customers and sellers

In 2024 Amazon Australia delivered at its fastest speeds ever for Australian Prime members and has significantly invested in and expanded its operations network to enable a seamless, faster, and more reliable shopping experience for customers. In fact, between January 2024 and 2026 Amazon Australia will have invested $1.6 billion opening five new operational sites, which will create an additional 4,500 jobs once fully operational. Additionally, in 2024, Amazon Australia created more than 550 permanent roles across its operational network around the country. Amazon Australia now has seven fulfilment centres, and 12 logistics sites, including a $70 million purpose-built fulfilment centre in Jandakot, spanning more than 20,000 square metre and with more than 225 jobs.

Since 2011, Amazon has invested more than $20 billion to date across all of our businesses in Australia, including more than $4billion in 2023 alone, in order to continue improving delivery experience for customers. This means that even more Amazon customers around Australia are now able to access an enhanced delivery experience, including faster delivery, delivery on evenings and weekends, and reattempted deliveries for customers when they are not home.

Faster delivery such as Same-Day Delivery enables selling partners to get their products to more customers fast. Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) is a fulfilment method available for sellers on Amazon.com.au, built to enable third party sellers to make the most of Amazon's advanced logistics network. FBA sellers just need to send their product to one of Amazon’s fulfilment centres and Amazon then stores, picks, packs and ships the seller’s order to customers. Amazon also takes care of customer service issues and handles any returns or refunds on behalf of the FBA seller. All products enrolled into FBA are eligible for Prime delivery, meaning that selling partners in the program may see their products delivered to Prime members in Sydney or Perth the very same day. According to Mandala Partners research, businesses gained $1.4 billion in sales revenue from faster Business-to-Customer deliveries over the last decade. This, combined with the potential to save $400 million through swifter access to inventory, means Australian businesses stand to unlock $1.8 billion of value thanks to fast delivery.

Ryan Sanders, CEO of Perth small business Purple Moon Collection has been selling heat packs and wraps on Amazon.com.au since 2019. He said, “Selling on Amazon Australia has allowed us to not only build our Australian customer base, but also reach customers overseas. Delivery speed is really important to our customers, and we’re excited that same day delivery in Perth now gives locals the opportunity to receive our products even more quickly.”
