Addison Lee has launched AL Now – a two-hour, rapid delivery service designed to give London businesses a faster way to deliver to their customers.
Unlike other delivery services that give customers all-day delivery windows, AL Now allows London businesses to offer consumers a specific two-hour delivery window.
The service is currently being used by a number of retailers and is designed to help independent local businesses compete on a more level playing field with companies such as Amazon, by giving their customers greater choice and control over delivery timings.
Liam Griffin, CEO of Addison Lee, said: “Since the first lockdown last March, we’ve seen our courier services grow by 30% as shopping behaviour shifted online. At the same time, we have seen shoppers come to expect that their purchases will be delivered at a time and date of their choosing.
“We created AL Now in response this trend – offering a simple, speedy and seamless delivery solution designed to help London’s local businesses meet changing customer demands.”
