Residents across Edinburgh can now order food, drink and other essential items and have them delivered to their door within an hour, following the roll out of a speedy shopping service by a leading convenience retailer.
Scotmid is launching its popular Snappy Shopper service in the capital, bringing the online shopping opportunity to the fingertips of more than 500,000 residents.
Customers can order from a range of over 1000 product lines, via the Snappy Shopper app or at www.snappyshopper.co.uk, which are then picked, packed and delivered by Scotmid staff, to their home, within an hour.
Products have been selected to cater for a range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free and include products from Scottish suppliers such as Barrs, Golden Wonder, Tunnocks and Mackies.
Delivery slots are made available every 24 hours and booked on a first come, first served basis. The concept stands Scotmid apart from other, larger retailers, whose online home delivery services are often booked up days in advance.
Kevin Plant, Head of Food at Scotmid, said: “We are really excited to serve our customers in Edinburgh with our new Snappy Shopper service.
“Our core purpose as a business is to serve our communities and improve people`s everyday lives and our Snappy Shopper service enables Scotmid customers to access great products from the comfort of their own home.”
Snappy Shopper has proved particularly valuable to many individuals and families during lockdown. For those who were shielding, considered high risk or who found it hard to get to the shops, the online service has provided a quick and easy means of acquiring their essential items.
The launch follows highly successful pilots in West Lothian, North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire and supports Scotmid’s ambitions to lead the way in Scotland for fast, convenient shopping, tied in with its core value of serving communities.
Stewart Dobbie, Head of Innovation and Change at Scotmid, said: “Snappy Shopper is enabling us to provide on-demand, simple, digital convenience to our customers and the positive feedback we receive daily from customers in areas where Snappy Shopper is in place supported our decision to expand the offering.
“Our move into the capital marks the next step in our drive to enhance our Food offering to existing and new customers.”
The first delivery for every customer is free when they sign up on the app, with subsequent deliveries across Edinburgh costing just £3.50. There is a £10 minimum basket spend with a limit of 25 products per delivery.
Customers can order for delivery within an hour between 10am to 9pm.
