BRITISH chemist chain LloydsPharmacy is expanding its rapid product delivery services in an updated partnership with Deliveroo.
The pact initially launched in 2020 and after a pilot involving 16 pharmacies, delivery is currently available in 40 stores, allowing customers to order about 50 "best selling products" via the Deliveroo app and receive them in as little as 30 minutes.
The partnership is now being expanded to a further 110 outlets in Bristol, Exeter, Liverpool, Coventry, Newport and Manchester, according to UK trade publication Chemist Druggist.
The arrangements with Deliveroo complement LloydsPharmacy's standard click-and-collect and next-day delivery services, which see products arrive in 24 hours.
The product range available for super-fast Deliveroo delivery includes OTC painkillers, tissues, in-home pregnancy tests, cold & flu relief items.
Rival chain Boots also offers delivery of about 100 OTC items through Deliveroo.
