B&Q launches two-hour TradePoint Express delivery and expands Deliveroo to 100+ stores
B&Q has enhanced its on-demand delivery offer with the launch of a two-hour delivery service for trade customers, and has also expanded its partnership with Deliveroo to more than 100 stores.
Working with on-demand courier platform Gophr, the home improvement retailer has launched TradePoint Express where customers can arrange deliveries either within two hours or in a pre-booked two-hour slot on the same day, from B&Q’s TradePoint store in Barking and 123 B&Q stores across the UK.
Subscribe to TRBB&Q said the service will be expanded to more TradePoint stores later this year.
Following a successful trial, the retailer has also expanded its Deliveroo partnership to more than 100 stores nationwide. The service gives customers access to more than 9,000 home improvement products through Deliveroo, with orders delivered in as little as 35 minutes.
The moves follow the retailer’s introduction of Marketplace Click + Collect, where customers can now choose from a range of collection and delivery options designed to suit planned projects, urgent repairs and last-minute requirements.
Amélie Gallichan-Todd, supply & logistics director at B&Q, said: “We’re continually evolving the ways customers can shop with B&Q, making it faster and more convenient to access the products they need.
“The launch of TradePoint Express and the expansion of Deliveroo to more than 100 stores are important steps in that journey, giving both trade and retail customers greater flexibility through a range of delivery options designed to suit different project needs.
“As our customer expectations continue to evolve, we’re focused on making it easier for them to get the right products, exactly when and where they need them.”
