Amazon Prime makes major change to Morrisons online orders leaving shoppers fuming

Amazon has made a major change to their supermarket online orders, leaving some customers furious.

Amazon Prime has become a staple feature of many Brits’ shopping habits, giving them the ultimate convenience.

At first this was just for the latest gadgets or home goods, but in more recent years expanded to groceries too.

This included getting food from supermarket giant Morrisons - including within just two hours.

The service was added four years ago, and is employed across nine different cities.

It’s available to Prime members at no extra cost and lets them do a full Morrisons shop - which is picked up at their local store and delivered on the same day.

Morrirons is the only supermarket to offer this through Amazon.

But now Prime customers will need to spend 50 per cent more than they previously did to qualify for free two hour delivery.

Currently, Prime members have to spend £40 to qualify for the free, speedy shipping.

But from June 19, that will rise to at least £60 to be eligible.

However, if shoppers don’t spend that much, they won’t have to fork out too much to get the two-hour offer, spending only £2 on the delivery.

In an email sent to Prime and Morrisons customers, Amazon said: "As of June 19th, free two-hour delivery included with your Prime membership will be available when you spend £60 or more.

"Orders between £40 and £60 will be available within a two-hour window for just £2, and orders between £15 and £40 can be delivered within a two-hour window for £4."

But some disgruntled users were less than impressed with the change.

Barbara Sutton took to Twitter to say: “Email p***** me off-one from Amazon advising their free Morrison's delivery will not be available for orders under £60 now (previously £40)”.

Another user added: “The limit for free delivery from Morrisons via Amazon has gone up, as of 19th June, from £40 to £60. So that'll be three tins of beans needed instead of two.”

Others similarly expressed their frustration at the change.

But Amazon and Morrisons aren’t alone in changing the minimum amount customers need to spend to qualify for home delivery without paying more.

Tesco also recently upped the minimum basket value at the beginning of May.
