Love it or loathe it, holiday packing is a sure sign that your long-awaited summer break is just around the corner. New research from Boots UK* reveals that despite most of us (52%) using a ‘fold and roll‘ technique to make the most of all the space, just as many of us (54%) end up removing the very essentials we want to take with us due to lack of space with shoes, clothes and books among the essentials we end up taking out.
However Boots are on hand to help with your holiday packing meaning compromising on luggage space is a thing of the past. Thanks to Order & Collect you can fit even more into your suitcase this summer by collecting your pre-ordered holiday items from Boots airside stores once you’re through security.
Order & Collect means you can leave out your toiletries so you can pack your favourite bikini and heels instead. You can also pick up your shampoos and other body products at the airport before you embark on your trip. By simply ordering on Boots.com at least five working days before you travel, your holiday shop will be waiting for you before you fly off on your trip safe in the knowledge that you have the essentials you wanted to make the most out of your holiday.
Andy Miles, Head of E-Commerce at Boots UK, said "We know that even the most organised luggage packer will need to leave behind holiday essentials each year due to the space restrictions. We want to help our customers experience the best holiday possible this summer by taking some of the hassle out of packing. Order & Collect means customers can trust us to have their summer holiday essentials waiting for them at their Boots airport store of choice.”
So this summer, why not try the Order & Collect service and ensure you have essentials you need to feel your best when you are away.
