Deliveroo delivery drivers are now handling orders of a different kind. Recently, the food delivery company has been working with the UK pharmacy chain Boots, delivering cosmetics and OTC orders.
Deliveroo has been part of the online shopping revolution. Almost every restaurant is just a click away, and it only takes a few minutes to enjoy the dish that makes you drool.
This concept of fast delivery takes another turn with this partnership with Boots. It is now possible to buy nearly 400 carefully selected products (cosmetics, hygiene products, baby care, non-prescription drugs) on Deliveroo and receive them at home in less than 20 minutes.
Boots.com director Paula Bobbet said the team was “very excited about this new partnership with Deliveroo. This service will come in handy for those times when you need something urgently but can’t leave the house.”
For the moment, this project is being tested in 14 stores in the United Kingdom. If the tests are successful, the concept will be extended to all of the company’s stores.
