The Amazon Prime Now online shopping app has just launched in Singapore, and it promises two-hour delivery of groceries, electronics, alcohol, and more
It’s no secret that the Honeycombers team is absolutely thrilled that Amazon Singapore is about to launch. After all, it’s perhaps the most iconic online shopping portal in the world. Heralding Amazon Singapore’s launch is the Amazon Prime Now service that delivers common household goods and groceries. Not sure what all the fuss is about? Here’re five things we’re looking forward to the most about Amazon Prime Now.
They’re not kidding when they say ‘now’.
Online shopping in Singapore can be a trying experience – waiting two weeks for delivery is practically the norm when ordering from overseas. Amazon Prime Now, however, can get you your orders within two hours with a delivery fee of just $5.99 – and it’s available anywhere on the island, right from the app. In selected locations, you’ll even have the option of one-hour delivery at $9.99. For orders above $40, two-hour delivery is free.
You can order cool gadgets on a whim
While Amazon Prime Now does lean heavily on grocery deliveries, the service has a broad selection of gadgets and tech toys available for two-hour delivery. Some of the service’s more interesting offerings include the Garmin vívosmart HR-EZ-Link Smart Activity Tracker. This localised activity tracker features an embedded EZ-Link chip, allowing you to make contactless payments and pay for train and bus rides by tapping your tracker.
You can get groceries and chilled alcohol delivered
One of the key offerings of Amazon Prime is its comprehensive and affordable selection of groceries – from fresh meat and produce to canned goods and dairy products. Having a last-minute party? You can even get chilled beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks delivered.
Shop for Amazon Basics
Online shopping doesn’t just have to be for big-ticket items. There are times when you need miscellanea like USB cables, towels, and batteries, but don’t want to make a trip down to a crowded department store. Amazon Prime Now brings to Singapore the Amazon Basic household brand that offers a slew of household basics at affordable prices. Whether you’re looking for a set of dumbbells or 96 HB pencils, Amazon Basic has you covered.
Amazon Prime Now is available for all members for a limited time
While Amazon Prime Now is a premium service, usually available only to Amazon Prime members, for a limited time, all Amazon users will be able to take advantage of the service. So if you’re feeling a little too lazy to make that grocery trip to a crowded supermarket, here’s your chance to get it delivered right to your doorstep.
