Release Summary: Waitrose is taking the pressure off shopping with
new delivery service now operating in over 50 Waitrose branches.
Press
Release Body: Waitrose the supermarket, has launched
its ‘Waitrose Deliver’ internet grocery
service to 18 more stores across the country, making the service
now available in over 50 Waitrose branches. Even more customers
can now shop from the comfort of their home or the convenience of
the workplace and have groceries delivered straight to their door.
Waitrose
Marketing Manager, Internet and Ecommerce, Fiona
Hall, said: “More and more people are choosing
to shop
online for a variety of reasons, whether they are restricted
for time, or are unable to visit the store. This new service is
a great way to allow customers the freedom to buy at their leisure
and have their shopping delivered to their door."
Customers
will find the same selection and money saving offers that are available
in a Waitrose store. The website is easy to use and customers can
also choose to collect their shopping in branch if they prefer.
The
food shop guarantees
that products will be of the best quality and freshness. Each order
is picked and packed by the same dedicated staff that customers
meet in their local store. Customers can even place a note to tell
their personal shopper if they prefer their bananas on the green
side or are happy to have regular milk if the skimmed variety isn't
available. There is a minimum order value of £50 and a £5
delivery fee, or £3 if the customer collects in branch.
As
part of Waitrose’s commitment to recycling
and reducing packaging waste, delivery drivers will also collect
used plastic bags and take them back to the store for recycling.
More
and more UK shoppers are taking advantage of online
grocery shopping and supermarket delivery services. Once a shopping
list is created, shoppers can quickly order the same products each
week, making small changes where required. Customers can find out
if Waitrose's new grocery
delivery service is available in their area by visiting the
Waitrose website.
