BOOTS has expanded its rapid delivery service to five hundred of its stores, just before Christmas Day.
The service enables customers to pick from a range of more than 10,000 products online and have them arrive at their door in as little as 30 minutes.
Over 1,600 of these items are from gift lines, ideal for purchasing as late additions to your Christmas shopping.
The health and beauty retailer rolled out the proposition with an aim to capture late demand, so anyone missing what they need for the holidays won’t feel stranded when stores begin shortening their opening hours.
In combination with this move, selected Boots stores will extend delivery availability until midnight on Christmas Eve – a traditionally difficult day to shop.
The expansion follows an incredibly busy festive period for Boots last year, when Christmas Eve accounted for the highest volume of on-demand sales.
Speaking on the news, 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.”
Alongside rapid delivery, Boots will continue to offer next-day Click & Collect and in-store Christmas gifting ranges.
Select Boots products will also be available via popular apps Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat to support delivery volumes.
Don’t forget to link up your Boots Advantage card upon making any purchases to earn points and potentially receive money off of your order.
