Tesco is to offer a one-hour grocery delivery service to customers in central London.
From this week, customers will be able to order – via the new Tesco Now app – up to 20 items from a range of 1,000 products.
Orders are picked in a local store and delivered to customers via moped, by third party fulfilment specialist Quiqup, within 60 minutes.
Customers can track their order via the Tesco Now app, receiving live updates on the progress of their order.
In addition to the one hour delivery, a two-hour delivery option is available at £5.99.
The service is available between 8am until 11pm on weekdays and 9am until 11pm at weekends. The price is £7.99 with no minimum spend on each order.
Tesco Now complements Tesco’s existing online grocery options available in London and the south-east including Same Day Delivery and Same Day Click and Collect.
Adrian Letts, online managing director at Tesco, said:
“From forgotten essentials to that crucial final ingredient, Tesco Now can get them to our customers’ door within the hour.
“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.”
The full list of postcodes where this service is available is: E1, E2, EC1, EC2, EC3, N1, N16, NW1, NW10, NW3, NW5, NW6, NW8, SE1, SE11, SW10, SW11, SW12, SW13, SW14, SW15, SW1, SW3, SW4, SW5, SW6, SW7, SW8, W1, W10, W11, W12, W14, W2, W7, W8, W9, WC1, WC2
