Asda launch one-hour delivery service
Asda is set to expand its one-hour delivery service to an additional 96 stores across the UK.
The news comes after it launched a successful trial in July at its Halifax, Rotherham, Poole, and St Matthews stores, which the Big Four supermarket said, “exceeded expectations”.
The cost of the service is £8.50 regardless of the size of the order.
Asda said if the latest rollout is popular with customers, it will extend the service to even more stores.
“We are rolling out our express delivery service to almost 100 stores after a trial showed there was a clear gap in the market for a speedy delivery service offering our full online product range for delivery within one hour,” said Simon Gregg vice president of grocery at Asda. “As the only grocer to offer this service, we have seen a significant number of customers access this option, with slots regularly selling out at our pilot stores.”
