Boots has broadened its on-demand delivery service to nearly 500 stores throughout the United Kingdom. The rapid service, facilitated by Deliveroo and Uber Eats, promises deliveries to customers’ doorsteps in as swift as 30 minutes, an extension from its previous availability in 250 stores.
With an extensive selection of over 10,000 health and beauty products for prompt delivery, customers can now access items like cold and flu remedies, baby formula, as well as last-minute presents including perfumes and skincare products. To check if your nearby Boots store provides this service, simply utilize the Uber Eats and Deliveroo apps. Once an order is placed, it will be swiftly prepared and delivered in sealed packaging by designated couriers.
The on-demand delivery option, operational until midnight, is currently accessible in ten London stores, with plans for further expansion across the UK. Boots initially collaborated with Deliveroo in 2021 and later expanded the service to include Uber Eats in 2023. Moreover, selected Boots stores also offer on-demand delivery through Just Eat.
