Woolworths testing same-day grocery delivery app in SA

Woolworths announced over the December holidays, that it has launched a trial service of its new same-day grocery delivery app called Woolies Dash.

The retailer noted that during the trial period it will be offering users free delivery on all orders over R75.

The trial period will see Woolies Dash only available for a select number of stores. Deliveries will be available between 9 am and 6 pm daily.

To use Woolies Dash, you will need to download it from the app store for your device.

The app is now live on the Google Play Store, Huawei App Gallery, and Apple App Store.

During the trial period, you will qualify for delivery if you live within 5km of the stores included in the trial rollout of the app.

Stores that are part of the trial include:

  • Western Cape: V&A Waterfront, Canal Walk, Cavendish, Gardens, Cape Gate, Blue Route, Tygervalley
     
  • Gauteng: Cresta, Clearwater Mall, Norwood Mall, Menlyn, Dainfern Square, The Grove, Lynnwood Road, Benmore Gardens, The Glen
     
  • Kwa-Zulu Natal: Musgrave, La Lucia

Users will also need to register a new account with Woolies Dash, even if they are existing Woolworths online shopping customers.

In the app, you can order up to 30 grocery, beverage, and household items. If something is out of stock, you can choose whether you want your shopper to substitute items.

There is also no minimum amount of items for an order.

You will also be able to choose your preferred one-hour delivery slot for the day.
