Amazon fresh - too good to be true?

rothchick

I was browsing for some after sun and it came up cheapest on Amazon fresh at 70% off! I then noticed all these cheap branded  foods that are available for delivery to my home. Added them to my basket but not sure why they are so cheap! Any ideas?

Very odd! I love a bargain but seems a bit too cheap 🤣

Normally just short dated items, just turn off the substitution option else you get something at full price when all the other bargain hunters snap things up before you.

Ok, thanks . I don’t mind short dated items. Normally it would tell you somewhere it’s short dated and nothing showing on these. Do you know where these come from? Earliest delivery is Friday.  Not all these items will be at my local Morrisons

Friday? Fresh normally delivers to us within 3 hours unless its really bad weather or such in which case its longer/the next morning.

For us you choose the source, Fresh, Morrison or Iceland. The logo changes depending on which you select so for us its Fresh so is coming from the Amazon Warehouse and in our case thats 1.5 miles away across the river. How they source their goods isn't formally public knowledge and inevitable has a range of options as some products are mass market consumer items and others are specialist items from a local supplier (eg Paxton & Whitfield cheeses)

That is kind of what I thought! I’m forever dodging Morrisons staff packing Amazon fresh bags at my local store. We also have a few Amazon warehouses near my town. Doesn’t seem right to me so not going to bother, plus £7 delivery fee unless you spend £40.

We can't even get Amazon Fresh here, despite having a Morrisons.
