UK: Morrisons signs deal with Amazon to install hundreds of lockers

Morrisons is to install the UK's largest collection of Amazon Lockers this year as part of its drive to introduce new popular and useful services in its stores.

Morrisons plans to install hundreds of Amazon Lockers at Morrisons supermarkets this year so that customers can pick up their orders without the need to wait in their home.

"Many busy customers can’t wait at home for their delivery, and we believe the option to pick it up from one of our hundreds of conveniently located supermarkets will be attractive,” Trevor Strain, Chief Financial Officer of Morrisons.

In May, Morrisons began to supply thousands of grocery items that are now available to Amazon customers through AmazonFresh in London, Amazon Pantry nationwide and Amazon Prime Now,

“Morrisons supermarkets are ideal locations for Amazon Lockers which allow people to pick up their parcels while on the move,” John Tagawa, Amazon’s Vice President of UK Operations.

There are more than 1,000 Amazon Lockers nationwide in locations ranging from petrol forecourts, convenience stores and shopping centres to universities, train stations, banks and airports.
