With the shops being absolute chaos during the COVID-19 outbreak, getting essential items for the family has been a challenge for pretty much every household. The shops are barren (or closed!) and it’s near impossible to order groceries to be delivered to your house. A lot of people are turning to online shopping to fulfill all of their basic needs (and okay, some shameless retail therapy). The one saving grace we’ve had is Amazon Prime.
Recently, Amazon announced that they would be prioritizing all orders for essential items like cleaning supplies, baby products and personal care/health products above all other orders. Because of this, and the huge influx of online orders, we’re seeing some items with delivery dates of well over a month, even with Prime delivery! I’ve had a look through the site, and have found that you can still get loads of items in less than a week! A lot of the items are in bulk, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially since we don’t know when all of this craziness will end. Here’s a few of the items I’ve found that you can get rather quickly (as of writing this post)!
Bold 2-in-1 Detergent | Ecover Toilet Cleaner | The Pink Stuff
The Ultimate Bathroom Cleaning Kit
Finish Dishwasher Tablets | Zoflora Disinfectant
First Aid Kit | Nurofen Tablets | Oral-B Pro 2 2500 Electric Toothbrush
Colgate Toothpaste | Burt’s Bees Hand Salve
Listerine Mouthwash | Faith In Nature Body Wash | Maui Lotion | Lemsip Max
NUK Bottle Cleanser | Tommee Tippee Nappy Bin Starter Set | Aveeno Baby Wash
Eco By Naty Baby Wipes
Infacol | Pampers Nappies | Child’s Farm Nappy Cream
Like I said, these are just a few things that I found on Amazon Prime! If you have a good nose around (which we all have loads of time for), there are loads of products that you can get, even some non-essentials!
Also, if you aren’t in desperate need of some things and willing to wait about a week, then I would recommend using Amazon Pantry. You can get a lot more household and essential products (and food!) using that service – you just need to spend at least £15 on qualifying items (plus you get free shipping when you buy at least 4 products).
I hope you all stay safe and healthy!
