Boots expands on-demand delivery to 500 stores
Boots has expanded its on-demand delivery offering to 500 stores.
The move follows a surge of on-demand orders from thousands of customers on Christmas Eve last year and research commissioned by the retailer that found that more than one in two people leave gift shopping until the last day.
This year, last minute shoppers will be able to choose from over 10,000 products through Boots on-demand service via Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat. Over 1,600 Christmas gifts will be available including customer favourites such as No7 Ultimate Collection, Kayali Perfumes and Gucci Bamboo fragrance. Some stores will offer delivery up until midnight on Christmas Eve.
Paula Bobbett, chief data and digital officer at Boots, said: “We all know Christmas is a busy time, so we want to make it even easier for our customers who find themselves shopping right up to the last moment. Boots on-demand can help change that final dash into an easy delivery.
“At Boots, we’re here to make shopping feel joyful, not stressful, helping shoppers find thoughtful gifts quickly and easily, even if they’ve missed online order cut-offs or store opening hours.”
