Our opinion on Amazon Pantry?

Benefits :
– Access to basic everyday products
– Competitive prices and formats adapted to all needs
– Home delivery in 3 to 4 days
– The possibility of having a tailor-made card delivery, at the desired time
– Take advantage of all the advantages of the Amazon Prime subscription: accelerated delivery, video and music streaming service, priority access to flash sales, etc.

Disadvantages:
– A minimum order set at 15 euros
– Shipping costs imposed if the order does not contain 5 items eligible for free delivery
– The need to be a member of Amazon takes precedence
– Limited references, and sometimes unavailable

Price comparison of some references:

  • Panzani tomato coulis: € 0.66 on Amazon Pantry / € 0.79 on Monoprix
  • Oatmeal Quaker: € 1.41 on Amazon Pantry / € 1.89 on Monoprix
  • Lindt black tablet with toasted sesame: € 1.70 on Amazon Pantry / € 1.95 on Monoprix
  • Good Zucchini Risotto: € 2.62 on Amazon Pantry / € 2.89 on Monoprix
  • Household cleaning cif: € 2.10 on Amazon Pantry / € 2.99 on Monoprix

Without appeal, the Amazon Pantry basket will be cheaper, especially as delivery is possible from 15 € ((against 60 € at Monoprix for example)

Conclusion : a positive outcome, especially if you have to use the other services of the merchant site. Admittedly, all the brands are not represented, but the offer makes it possible to meet daily needs, and not to have to travel (to find toilet paper).

To take advantage of Amazon Pantry services, go to the Amazon Prime subscription page : The first 30 days of testing are free!
