Tesco rolling out one hour delivery service | Progresiv
Following on from recent trials, Tesco has announced that it is rolling out its one hour grocery delivery service in central London. 
Customers across almost 40 London postcodes are now able to order, via the Tesco Now app, up to 20 items from a range of 1,000 products, including fresh produce, meat, bakery goods and dairy, as well as baby, health and beauty items. Orders are then picked in a local store and delivered via moped within 60 minutes by third party fulfilment specialist Quiqup, who have partnered with Tesco.
Shoppers will also be able to track their order via the Tesco Now app, receiving live updates on its progress. The service is priced at 7.99 pounds with no minimum spend on each order.
Tesco is looking to capitalise on rising consumer demand for the rapid delivery of products. The likes of Amazon and Deliveroo have led the way in offering such services with Sainsbury’s also launching its one-hour ‘Chop Chop’ delivery service last year.
Adrian Letts, Online Managing Director at Tesco, said: “Shoppers’ needs are changing and we want to offer a range of services that allow them to shop with us in a way that suits their needs. We look forward to hearing what they think of the new service.” (www.kamcity.com)
