The extended lockdown exacerbates the situation for retailers.
Many shops are therefore switching to Click & Collect.
Here you can find out how the service works.
Since
January 5th it
has been clear that the
hard lockdown will be
extended.
The retail trade will only be able to open to a limited extent over time.
Many shops are therefore switching to alternative shopping options.
Munich - It has been clear since last week: The
hard lockdown
to contain the
corona
infection numbers
is being extended.
Many consumers therefore want a convenient and safe way to do their everyday shopping.
Many supermarkets are now
using
Click & Collect to
help.
You can find out here which advantages the method offers and how it works exactly.
Basically,
Click & Collect means
ordering goods via the app or on the store's website.
The ordered products can then be picked up promptly from the respective retailer's branch.
Compared to the delivery business, there are no shipping costs and in most cases the pick-up is faster than, for example, shipping.
Ikea
has long been considered a pioneer of
Click & Collect
.
The Swedish furniture retailer has been offering the pick-up service for years.
In addition,
Click & Collect is
new territory for Germany.
Many other European countries such as
France
and
Great Britain
have had this type of pick-up service for years.
Click & Collect: This is how the Rewe and dm apps work
Due to the
risk
of
infection
when shopping and the tightened
Corona
measures
, more and more retailers are offering the
click-and-collect service
.
Recently,
Rewe
and
dm
adds a practical pick-up service to their offer.
For online shopping you only need the app of the respective supermarket.
In the
Rewe
app for Android, you can find out about the latest offers in the brochures and then place a request.
Rewe is
thus expanding its delivery service that has been in existence for years.
It can usually take up to three hours from shopping to collection at the store.
It is also possible to order the purchase up to 14 days before collection.
The purchase is picked up at specially designated parking spaces.
You can ring the bell on site and then pay for your purchases in cash or by card.
Rewe
charges a service fee of € 2
for packing the purchases
.
Rewe's
pick-up service currently works
in 230 stores.
According to Rewe Digital, another 700 pick-up stations are to be set up, reported the industry magazine
supermarketblog.com.
The app from
dm
works in a similar way
.
In contrast to the
Rewe
app, the version of
dm is
somewhat more informative.
In this way, the customer is informed how much of the desired product is still in stock and when the order can be picked up.
The order is free of charge for you if you use the dm customer account.
As a guest you pay € 2.95.
