Asos rolls out same day delivery

Following a successful trial, fashion retailer Asos is introducing a same day delivery service for London customers

ASOS Instant will see orders placed before 10am from Sunday to Friday arriving the same day between 6pm-10pm.
The service is being rolled out initially across all 122 London postcodes, and is scheduled to be introduced to other UK cities over the coming months. Customers can select ASOS Instant delivery on checkout for a cost of £12.95 per parcel.
This new delivery option, powered by On the dot’s technology, complements Asos’s extensive range of fulfilment options already available to customers, such as click and collect and standard delivery. Convenient On the dot is part of the CitySprint Group and is based on new technology created specifically to help retailers offer highly convenient deliveries at prices comparable to next day delivery. On the dot combines unique, flexible technology with CitySprint’s vast UK footprint: a network of 3,500+ GPS and live tracking-enabled couriers that can reach 99% of the UK population from 41 service centres. It provides complete visibility from store to floor via instant notifications to customers, and its open API means it can be easily integrated into retailers’ checkouts and EPOS, both online and in-store.
