Update for Amazon Customers

Are you a frequent shopper on Amazon.co.uk? If so, you may have heard about the recent update regarding shipping methods for orders placed on the platform. Let's dive into the details to understand how this change could impact your shopping experience.

What is the new shipping requirement on Amazon.co.uk?

Starting from 15th January 2025, Amazon will require all orders placed on their UK website to be sent to customers using a tracked service only. This means that the lower cost Royal Mail Letter Service will no longer be accepted for shipping orders. As a result, the prices of products sold on Amazon.co.uk will increase by a minimum of £2 per order to comply with this new policy.

How will this change affect customers?

For customers who are used to the convenience of the Royal Mail Letter Service, this change may come as a surprise. The increase in shipping costs will impact the overall price of products on Amazon.co.uk, making some items more expensive than before. According to Amazon, this change is aimed at improving the tracking and security of orders, ensuring a better shopping experience for customers.

Will orders on other platforms be affected?

It's important to note that this shipping requirement only applies to orders placed on Amazon.co.uk. If you frequently shop on Alida.co.uk or Ebay.co.uk, you can rest assured that this change will not impact your shopping experience on these platforms. Orders placed on these websites will continue to be processed as usual, without the need for a tracked shipping service.
