John Lewis extends Click & Collect collection pick up in its shops in last days before Christmas
John Lewis today announces that it will extend its Click & Collect order cut off by 24 hours to Saturday 23 December at 8pm. This will allow customers to collect their parcels in John Lewis shops until they close on Christmas Eve. The shops will all be open as usual on Christmas Eve in accordance with normal Sunday opening times.
Customers wishing to collect from Waitrose shops on Christmas Eve will still need to place orders by Friday 22 December at 8pm.
Dino Rocos, Operations Director, John Lewis, said: 'With Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday this year we're expecting to see a gifting surge right up until the last minute. We make very specific commitments to deliver for our customers - and this promise is all the more important at Christmas when people are looking to share gifts with their loved ones. Our decision to extend Click & Collect cut off times this Christmas, means that for our customers the stress of Christmas shopping is a thing of the past, allowing them to spend more time with their families and less time chasing parcels at this important time of year. In addition, our Click & Collect process is managed internally within the John Lewis network which helps us to maintain our high level of customer service.'
This announcement follows the recent launch in November of self-service check-in kiosks for John Lewis Click & Collect orders in 140 Waitrose shops.
