AmazonFresh is a relatively recent grocery delivery venture offered to Amazon Prime members. In addition to selling fresh food and groceries as the name suggests, AmazonFresh also has household products among its product range. With such incentives as same-day and free delivery on placed orders, Amazon Fresh now poses as a serious competitor in the grocery retail landscape.
An analysis that looked at the prices available on AmazonFresh and traditional UK supermarket retailers in the health and beauty products category showed varying degrees of price difference. As of January 1, 2020, health and beauty products at Morrisons were closest to Amazon prices, with only a 13.1 percent difference between them. Waitrose, an upscale grocery retailer, was by 31.5 percent more expensive than AmazonFresh when it came to health and beauty products available in each retailer's stock.
