With just eight shopping days to go before Christmas, Boots UK is on hand to help you have the smoothest and easiest run up to the big day – without having to venture further than your local high street.
Boots customers are already enjoying the convenience of Order & Collect and over 70% of boots.com orders placed in November used our Order & Collect service. In fact, at our busiest online trading hour on Pink Friday, almost six customers per second chose to Order & Collect their Soap & Glory Star Gift to make sure they got hold of their The Next Big Thing™ by Hattie Stewart Christmas beauty bundle as soon as possible. You too can trust us to deliver sackfuls of Christmas gifts on time and for free to over 2,300 stores across the UK.
Whether you want to order Chanel for your girlfriend, Clinique for your mum or some last minute party treats for yourself, just order by 6pm and collect in store from 12pm the following day – even from the smallest of Boots stores2. Our last order date is right up to 6pm on 23 December for collection after 12pm on Christmas Eve.
So, don’t spend your week waiting in and wondering or braving the stampedes – Order & Collect the brands you and your family love from Boots UK and you can relax and enjoy those last few days before Christmas.
