Boots has broadened its on-demand delivery service to nearly 500 stores throughout the UK. This rapid delivery option, facilitated by Deliveroo and Uber Eats, promises delivery within just 30 minutes, a significant expansion from its previous availability in 250 stores.
With a selection of over 10,000 health and beauty products now eligible for swift delivery, customers can access items like cold and flu remedies, baby formula, and last-minute gifts such as fragrances and beauty products. To check if your local Boots store offers this service, you can utilize the Uber Eats and Deliveroo apps. Orders placed are promptly picked, prepared, and delivered in sealed packaging by dedicated couriers.
The on-demand delivery service is operational until midnight in ten London stores, with plans for further expansion across the UK. Boots initially joined forces with Deliveroo in 2021 and later extended the service to Uber Eats in 2023. Moreover, selected stores offer on-demand delivery through Just Eat as well.
