With an Amazon Prime membership, you have access to unlimited fast, free delivery on millions of eligible items. But did you know you can also select your preferred day of the week for your deliveries?
What is Amazon Day delivery?
Amazon Day delivery, available exclusively to Prime members in the UK at no additional cost, gives you control over your delivery schedule, so you can receive your orders on the day that works best for you. Amazon Day does not replace other shipping options such as same-day or one-day delivery. Prime members still have full flexibility when choosing the most suitable delivery option for each order.
It’s also a great way to combine multiple orders into one delivery, potentially reducing the amount of packaging you receive. In fact, Amazon Day deliveries use 30% fewer boxes on average, and in 2023, saved 200 million boxes.
Here’s everything you need to know about setting up your Amazon Day:
