El Corte Inglés challenges Amazon with immediate delivery service
Tuesday, December 6, 2016 @ 11:29 PM
El Corte Inglés has thrown down the gauntlet to Amazon by extending its 'delivery in under two hours' service in the run up to Christmas and the Three Kings' festivities.
The national department store chain has extended its Click&Express online shopping service to almost all its centres so that customers can enjoy almost immediate delivery of goods, within a two-hour timeline, to suit the customer.
From Friday onwards this service will be available in 53 towns and cities across Spain, covering over 830 postcodes and a total of 18 million people.
El Corte Inglés becomes the first company to offer this online service in all the main Spanish cities, a direct challenge to multinational Amazon, which recently introduced its Prime Now service in Madrid and Barcelona.
El Corte Inglés clients have the choice of over 150,000 products in the company's virtual catalogue, including fashion, accessories, perfumes, cosmetics, housewares, technology, IT, electrical appliances, and Gourmet Experience products, and can have their chosen goods delivered to their home within two hours of placing their order, or in a pre-determined time slot of their choice.
