Boots has broadened its on-demand delivery services to nearly 500 stores throughout the UK. The rapid delivery service operates through Deliveroo and Uber Eats, ensuring that items reach customers’ doorsteps in as short as 30 minutes, a significant expansion from its previous availability in only 250 stores.
With over 10,000 health and beauty products now eligible for swift delivery, customers can access a variety of items such as cold and flu remedies, hay fever treatments, baby formula, and last-minute gifts like fragrances and beauty products. To determine if your local Boots store offers this service, you can check through the Uber Eats and Deliveroo apps. Once an order is placed, it is promptly picked, prepared, and delivered by couriers in secure packaging.
The on-demand delivery service is currently operational until midnight in ten London stores, with plans to extend to more locations across the UK soon. Boots initially collaborated with Deliveroo in 2021 and later expanded the service to Uber Eats in 2023. Additionally, selected Boots stores provide on-demand delivery through Just Eat.
