Amazon Prime Benefits and Innovations
French members of the Amazon Prime program enjoy efficient and reliable delivery solutions.
After setting new delivery speed records in 2023, Amazon has sustained its exceptional momentum into the first three months of 2024. Over two billion items were delivered same-day or next-day to Prime members worldwide.
In March, nearly 60% of Prime orders were delivered same-day or next-day in the 60 largest metropolitan areas in the United States, with three out of four items shipped same-day or next-day to London, Tokyo, and Toronto.
Amazon continually expands its product range while accelerating delivery processes, enhancing value for Prime members. They enrich their product selection, including items sold directly and those from partner sellers, including about 16,000 French small and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, Amazon invests in optimizing operations and logistics networks for faster and more reliable deliveries.
In 2023, Amazon prioritized improving shipping efficiency, ensuring faster and more effective product dispatch from warehouses. They invested heavily in automation, with over 550 new technologies deployed in European distribution centers since 2019.
Additionally, Amazon invests in eco-friendly delivery solutions and packaging. They operate thousands of electric delivery vehicles across Europe and have reduced packaging weight by 41% per shipment since 2015, saving over 2 million tons of packaging. They've also replaced single-use plastic packaging with 100% recyclable paper and cardboard in their European distribution network.
Continuous improvement of Prime offerings includes free one-day delivery in eligible areas, Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Gaming, Prime Reading, unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos, and exclusive deals on Prime Day.
