‘The Missing Piece’: Amazon Will Deliver Fresh Food for the First Time
Amazon Australia offers thousands of fresh Harris Farm products with same- and next-day delivery in over 80 Sydney postcodes, meeting growing demand in its fastest-growing category.
- Amazon Australia launched fresh grocery delivery in Sydney on Wednesday January 28, partnering with Harris Farm Markets to offer thousands of fresh products in more than 80 suburbs.
- After more than a year of talks, Amazon Australia noticed rising demand for pantry and personal care items, with Lenior saying `Customers are already buying pantry staples, household items, personal care products from us, but fresh food was the missing piece`.
- Orders must meet a $50 minimum, with deliveries fulfilled from Harris Farm's Leichhardt store and handled by Amazon Flex within two-hour windows, excluding frozen items.
- Offering fresh produce fills a major category gap and could intensify competition with Coles and Woolworths while creating more Amazon Flex delivery partner roles, though unions have criticized the Flex model.
- There are plans to expand the service across the Sydney metro area later this year, adding additional Harris Farm stores throughout the year, while Amazon will listen to customer feedback and offer $10 off first orders over $100.
