Amazon Business delivers a new perk
Amazon is going after office supply retailers with a new program designed to ramp up the online giant’s appeal to corporate customers.
Amazon Business service has launched Amazon Prime Shipping, a paid annual membership program for registered multi-user business customers in the United States and Germany. In the U.S., Business Prime Shipping offers unlimited, free two-day shipping on eligible items for all users on an Amazon Business account.
“Business Prime Shipping combines the wide selection of products available to Amazon Business customers, with the speed and convenience that customers have come to know and love from Amazon Prime,” said Greg Greeley, VP of Amazon Prime.
Amazon Business Prime Shipping membership is based on the number of users enrolled in their business account: $499 for up to 10 users; $1,299 for up to 100 users; and $10,099 for over 100 users. Once the customer selects their appropriate membership level, all users on the account will receive an email notifying them that Business Prime Shipping has been enabled. New users added to an existing Amazon Business account will be automatically enrolled in the service.
“Business Prime Shipping enables businesses with multiple users to further simplify their procurement procedures and increasingly rely on Amazon Business to deliver,” said Prentis Wilson, VP of Amazon Business. “Customers can now get unlimited fast delivery across their organization on a vast selection of products while maintaining increased visibility on their business purchases.”
