Amazon Prime Pantry
Amazon Prime Pantry is a service of Amazon.com available only to Amazon Prime members that packages everyday (non-bulk) non-perishable grocery store items into a single box for delivery for a flat fee. The service is available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Japan, Italy and Spain.
Service
Available only to customers with Prime membership to order up to 45 pounds or up to 4 cubic feet of dry goods and non-perishable groceries for a flat delivery fee of $5.99 in the US.[1][2]
Products offered - An ever-changing but limited variety of products is offered, but the range has decreased since the service was first launched. Nonetheless, it does offer a reliable means of obtaining the available grocery staples delivered to the door. While selecting items within the Prime Pantry program, each item lists the percentage of space it will take up inside the delivery box. A running total shows how full this box is. It can be a challenge to get the box as close to 100% full as possible, since the delivery fee remains the same - $5.99 per box - no matter how full.
Delivery is within a set time period. An email alerts customers of their delivery date so they can watch for the delivery truck. A full box weighs up to 45 lbs.
