Two controversial tech companies have teamed up for the first time, with Deliveroo announcing Amazon Prime members will receive free delivery on food orders for a year.<\/p>\n
Prime members in the UK and Ireland will be able to claim a free Deliveroo Plus membership, scrapping courier fees on meals over 25.<\/p>\n
The deal equates to Deliveroo Plus silver, which costs 3.49 per month. Customers signed up to Amazon Prime, which includes a streaming service for TV and film, pay 7.99 per month.<\/p>\n
Deliveroo, which, like Amazon, has come under fire over claims of poor pay and working conditions, said the move combines two giants of the delivery industry.<\/p>\n
Amazon has more than 200 million paying members around the world, while Deliveroo now works with 50,000 restaurants in the UK alone, according to the platform.<\/p>\n
The company said the new offer is expected to attract new highly engaged and digitally savvy customers and increase the loyalty of its existing 3.9 million UK monthly users.<\/p>\n
Carlo Mocci, the chief business officer for Deliveroo in the UK and Ireland, said: Amazon is one of the most customer-focused and innovative companies in the world and we are excited to launch this offer for Prime members.<\/p>\n
Amazons Lisa Leung Director added: We are excited about this offer with Deliveroo so millions of Prime members in the UK and Ireland can get the convenience of great meals delivered fast.<\/p>\n
