Argos has become the first British retailer to offer same-day delivery across the UK. The Fast Track service will operate seven days a week, 364 days a year.
The Home Retail Group (HRG) owned retailer has recruited nearly 3,300 extra drivers to deliver the service, which offers customers four home delivery time slots on around 20,000 products up to 10pm.
Customers can order by 6pm to get an item delivered by 10pm the same day for £3.95 whilst orders placed before midnight will be delivered between 7am-10am, or 10am–1pm the following day.
John Walden, chief executive of HRG, said: “Argos led the way with click & collect 15 years ago – and customers can continue to shop with us in the traditional ways if they choose to. But we believe Fast Track is the next big innovation and brings shopping into the digital age for customers, allowing them to get up to 20,000 products in their hands faster than ever before. No other retailer can offer the breadth of products immediately or at that speed.”
