Verkkokauppa.com launches 24/7 delivery and pickup: "No one else offers express services like these"
Press release, 15 May 2023
Verkkokauppa.com is launching 24/7 home deliveries with Wolt, covering a radius of up to 13 kilometers from the Helsinki store. Helsinki store customers will also be served around the clock, with a designated checkout area, order pickup point, and self-service Pickup Lockers open all night.
Starting May 15, the Verkkokauppa.com Helsinki store will also be open at night. In addition to ordering and picking up warehouse items, customers can shop the entire store selection through the night.
“The retail landscape as we know it is shifting beneath our feet, and we are constantly driving this change forward. The Helsinki store’s night hours enable new 24/7 home deliveries, through which we want to offer consumers and businesses the best shopping experience on the market. Seamless service is natural to us, and now we can truly meet customer shopping habits in terms of opening hours as well,” says Verkkokauppa.com CEO Panu Porkka.
Home deliveries in as little as an hour, even at night – new delivery area covers over 600,000 residents
The delivery area for One-Hour Home Deliveries, provided in collaboration between Verkkokauppa.com and Wolt, already covers a total of 83 postal code areas in Helsinki, Espoo, and Vantaa. This popular delivery method can now be selected for orders at any time.
“Verkkokauppa.com’s express deliveries have been very well received, and we see clear growth in demand. We just doubled the delivery area for One-Hour Home Delivery, and our goal is to be the primary shopping destination for as many Finns as possible, regardless of the time of day,” comments Verkkokauppa.com Sales Director Pekka Litmanen.
One-Hour Home Delivery was launched in the capital region in February this year, and the service covers up to 60,000 different products. The most valuable order to date has been worth over 15,000 euros.
“We are the first player to offer such a wide range of products with such flexible opening hours and delivery methods. Similar express deliveries are not available anywhere else,” Litmanen concludes.
