More than 40,000 Toowoomba shoppers now have access to contactless grocery deliveries within just two hours.
Woolworths has just introduced Delivery Now from its Grand Central store.
Customers in eligible areas spanning from Harlaxton to South Toowoomba can order up to 40 hand-picked items from a range of more than 20,000 products.
Shoppers can track orders on their smartphones all the way from the in-store pick through to the delivery to their door on a live map with an estimated time of arrival.
Woolworths director of eCommerce Annette Karantoni said it was a way for customers to reclaim time in their busy lives.
“Delivery Now offers our Toowoomba customers a fast, reliable and effortless way to get groceries delivered to their door in under two hours,” she said.
“It’s ideal for top up shops of everyday essentials, or more urgent needs like snacks for catering at short notice, nappies, or cold and flu medicine.
“Whatever the need, we’re delighted to offer Toowoomba customers another ultra-convenient and contactless way to shop with Woolworths.”
All Delivery Now orders are hand-picked in-store by Woolworths personal shoppers and delivered to customers by on-demand delivery partners from Drive Yello.
Delivery Now orders can be placed Monday to Friday between 9am and 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am and 4pm with a flat delivery fee of $19.
Woolworths also offers one-hour same day delivery windows in most Toowoomba areas when orders are placed before 1pm.
For customers looking to save time and money, Woolworths offers a same day Pick up service at all stores free of charge.
