Currys PC World launches same-day delivery service with On the dot

Electrical retailer Currys PC World has partnered with On the dot to launch a new same-day delivery service across the UK.

Customers opting for same-day deliveries will be able to select a two-hour delivery timeslot of their choice that day, between 12pm-10pm.

Same-day timeslots will automatically be displayed upon checkout to eligible customers. In the initial stages of the new service this will be customers purchasing “small items” before 4 pm (and small items are classified as everything apart from major kitchen and laundry appliances, and TVs over 40”).

The new service, which runs 7 days a week and costs customers £9.95, is available to shoppers within a 10-mile radius of one of 242 Currys PC World stores across the UK.

Currys PC World already offers its a range of fulfilment options, including standard and next day delivery. During the week leading up to Black Friday, 32” TVs and cordless vacuum cleaners were amongst the most popular products purchased from Currys PC World with same-day delivery, and customers were favouring the 6pm-8pm delivery timeslot.

Stuart Ramage, eCommerce Director at Currys PC World, commented: “We’re excited to be partnering with On the dot to introduce same day delivery, meaning our customers now have a suite of delivery options available to them, both online and in-store.”
