Amazon Launches Amazon Prime Services In India

Amazon has at last launched its Prime membership service in India. Users can sign up for Amazon Prime by means of the Amazon site, beginning with a 60-day free trial. If you join now, Amazon Prime will cost Rs. 499 for a year after the 60-day trial, however, the standard cost for Amazon Prime in India will be Rs. 999 every year. It's unclear that to what extent this inaugural cost will be valid.

If you are pondering what Amazon Prime incorporates into India, you might be in for disillusionment. Starting now, Prime accompanies boundless one-day and two-day delivery with no base order size and early access to a few deals on Amazon. Different advantages accessible to Prime members in the US like Amazon Video and Amazon Music - the shopping giant's video and music streaming services - are not accessible in the nation yet, however Amazon says the former "is coming".

"Since its inception in every country, Prime continues to evolve as we add millions of additional items that can be delivered incredibly fast and free," said Greg Greeley, Vice-President Worldwide Prime, Amazon. "We have also introduced unique digital benefits like Prime Video featuring Amazon Original Series and Movies - you'll be hearing more about that in the coming months."

Note that Amazon Prime members will not qualify for free delivery on all products but only on products with the Prime logo next to them. A dominant part of the 'fulfilled by Amazon' items ought to be qualified with the expectation of complimentary delivery under Amazon Prime. At this moment, Amazon charges Rs. 40 for 'standard delivery' (between 2-10 days, depending on the item) unless the request contains 'fulfilled by Amazon' items worth Rs. 499 or more. One-day and two-day delivery are charged Rs. 100 and Rs. 80 respectively.

Amazon Prime members can benefit these delivery choices for free no base order required and should pay just Rs. 50 for same-day, morning, and booked deliveries, against a charge of Rs. 150 for non-Prime members. Amazon Prime delivery advantages will be accessible to clients in 20 urban areas in India. For deliveries to cities not yet qualified for one-day or two-day delivery, individuals will get free delivery with no minimum buy.

"We are very excited to bring Prime to our customers in India. With Prime, guaranteed one-day delivery becomes an everyday experience instead of an occasional indulgence, and with no minimum purchases, it provides unlimited convenience all year long," said Amit Agarwal, Vice-President & Country Head, Amazon India.
