Boots will extend the hours of its on-demand delivery service up to midnight, making it easier and more convenient for customers to access health and beauty products when they need them.

The extended hours service is being trialled in ten of the health & beauty retailer’s busiest central London stores, which serve over 2million customers and patients. The move is part of Boots’ ongoing investment in digital and delivery innovation to allow it to meet the changing needs of customers. 

Shoppers can now make late-night Boots orders on Uber Eats and Deliveroo, choosing from almost 10,000 health, beauty and wellness essentials across the delivery platforms, with fast fulfilment taking as little as 20 minutes. 

“We know our customers’ lives don’t stop at 6pm, and neither should their access to essentials – whether that’s medicine for a poorly child, a forgotten gift, or an evening skincare top-up,” said Paula Bobbett, Chief Digital Officer at Boots. “By extending our instant delivery hours through Uber Eats and Deliveroo, we’re giving customers more flexibility and convenience when they need it most.” 

Boots first partnered with Deliveroo in 2021 and expanded the service to Uber Eats in 2023.

Amongst the most popular products Boots’ customers order via on-demand delivery platforms include urgent-need items, such as medicines, pregnancy tests and baby milk, as well as last-minute gifts like fragrances and premium beauty buys.
