Tesco trial a one hour delivery service

Tags: Customer Service, tesco

Category: DeliveryNews News

In a move to directly challenge Amazon, Tesco are unveiling its new one hour delivery service.

A pilot of the scheme in Zones 1 and 2 in London will use courier service Quiqup and will offer a one hour slot for up to 20 items from store. Items included are fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and frozen products as well as staples such as toiletries, nappies and bread.

Amazon launched the same service in London 2 years ago, and since its successful trial Amazon Prime has been rolled out to almost a 3rd of the UK.

Should the trial prove successful the app based service could be implemented nationally, and with Tesco recently trademarking Tesco Now, it looks like it is firmly in their sights.

One hour services are becoming much more popular as the UK shuns the highstreet and turns to the convenience of ordering from home. Larger companies are having to move with the times to stay competitive in the changing market – and quick and efficient deliveries are a large part of that.

What our clients say about us

We have worked with Think Worldwide for over 6 years and highly recommend them.
Think provide a personal service and from the moment they take our booking we
can relax knowing that the team at Think WW will track our package, keeping us
notified of its progress, identifying problems when they arise and resolving
them quickly to ensure our deadlines are met.

Amanda Springate | Operations Manager at an International Sports Team
We have been using Think Worldwide for 10 years for our domestic and
international shipping. A great service is provided and our shipping needs are
completely understood. Any potential problems are managed and resolved in
a timely and professional manner. A major crisis was recently avoided when
a delivery issue was resolved late on a Friday night and the goods then
delivered Saturday morning.

Dan Merritt | Operations Manager an Industrial Retail Company
Think Worldwide have been our delivery agents for 7 years, dealing with all our UK and overseas deliveries in a reliable and professional manner. If on the rare occasion something goes wrong their team will liaise with our customer until the problem is sorted. They also handle all our imports from Europe and the USA in a very efficient way, all we have to do is notify the team that a collection is needed from a supplier and they handle everything until it arrives in our warehouse. Brilliant. They also provide us with some fulfilment services and these have been performed accurately and in a very timely manner. We would highly recommend Think Worldwide to anyone looking for a professional and reliable delivery service.

Carole Baker | Manager at a Medical Company
We have been dealing with Think WW now for a couple of years and they are a great company to work with. They really add a personal touch to their service and will go the extra mile to help accommodate all of our needs. It is refreshing to work with such a company that truly cares about our business. At times they have even helped source services from other companies it is not something that they can offer. Dealing with Think WW is stress-free and they even help with all the necessary paperwork. I have no hesitation in recommending Think WW to others, you won’t regret it.

Jamie Richmond | Manager of a Building Company
Think Worldwide provide us with a fast, efficient, competitively priced and above all, friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble and we have peace of mind knowing that our packages are delivered on time… even for those last minute “rush” jobs. We highly recommend the think worldwide team.
