Amazon Prime customers in London can now get Amazon Fresh delivered the same or next-day for free, on orders over Ā£40. Do you think you would use this service? Can you see them becoming a big player in food retailing online? [![](https://media3.giphy.com/media/fJon4afFDt9jq/giphy.gif) ](https://media3.giphy.com/media/fJon4afFDt9jq/giphy.gif) ---

Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™ve used Amazon Fresh for online groceries. To be honest I get confused with Amazonā€™s online groceries offerings - they seem to have (or have had) multiple options and I forget whatā€™s what. But I have now been to an Amazon Fresh cashierless store a couple of times (in case any US members reading - the stores only arrived in UK in last month or so). Very impressive. Spent some time returning items to shelves that I had previously picked up. Their system tracked this and what I got charged for was exactly what I walked out with. But on both occasions the store had relatively few customers. Will be interesting to see how their tech manages with larger numbers in the store. Since itā€™s been operating in the US for a while I guess they must have it all figured out. Emma-related question: Amazon Fresh transactions appear in Emma transaction list as just ā€œAmazonā€ as the merchant. This this different to some other variations of Amazon. For example Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime Now, and Amazon Prime Video all get unique merchant names in Emma. Should the same be done for Amazon Fresh? I would suggest yes. It would be useful to see from the transaction list which transactions are with Amazon Fresh rather than general Amazon. Amazon Fresh transactions have the phrase ā€œAmazon Fresh [Amazon.co.uk](http://Amazon.co.uk)ā€ as the reference (at least when spending via Amex). ---

Is Wembley Park close enough for you? Thatā€™s the one I went to. 10 minute walk from Wembley Park station. Store is not particularly large so not space for a huge range. But quality is good. ---

Hmmm itā€™s about 45 mins away from me Might have a wander up there one weekend if I have nothing else planned! I bet it feels pretty strange just walking out without going to pay haha ---

> [@rebekah](#): > > I bet it feels pretty strange just walking out without going to pay haha It does a bit. Iā€™ve been a couple of times and on both occasions even though fully aware I could just walk out I couldnā€™t help myself making eye contact with the security guys as I left, I guess just for reassurance it was ok! I expect after a while you stop even thinking about it though. ---

Spent some time returning items to shelves that I had previously picked up. Their system tracked this and what I got charged for was exactly what I walked out with. Reviving this conversation because Iā€™m interested to try out Amazon Fresh. Do they do a good range of groceries (i.e. if I wanted to bake a cake) or is it just like packaged foods to go? Thatā€™s how I found it when I was in the US ---

Thereā€™s a lot of packaged food/meals but they do sell general groceries too. Probably just not large variety because the store is not particularly big (the one I went too anyway). Havenā€™t been in almost 2 months and only went twice so little bit hazy on what I remember. ---

If it were around the corner from you, would you choose it over a Tesco Express or Sainsburyā€™s Local if they were the same distance? ---

If no significant queues in the Tesco E/Sainsburyā€™s L Iā€™d probably sometimes use Amazon and sometimes use Tesco/Sainsburyā€™s just for variety. If I needed to go at a time when I know Tesco E /Sainsburyā€™s L would have significant queues at the till Iā€™d go to Amazon. ---
