Quick commerce firm Zapp launches emergency 24/7 Christmas turkey delivery service

Zapp has launched what is pitched as London's first 24/7 emergency Christmas turkey delivery service.

The company is stocking whole turkeys (£149.99) from organic farm producer Daylesford, available to order up to, and including, 25th December.

Customers can also purchase the likes of gravy, pigs in blankets, brussel sprouts, parsnips, and Yorkshire puddings.

Zapp is also stocking Christmas food essentials to see people through the whole day, from smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels to chocolates.

The service builds on Zapp's last minute Christmas gift store, launched earlier this month.

The new section in the firm’s app features a hand curated collection of premium gifts, including Fortnum & Mason Christmas hampers.

To order whole turkeys etc, download the Zapp app on iOS or Android. There is a standard delivery fee of £2.99 per order and, for orders over £30, said fee is waived.

Uber Eats

Uber Eats and Zapp recently announced a quick commerce partnership.

Customers across central London using Uber Eats will now be able to order from Zapp’s catalogue of around 2,000 products. 

Each order will be picked and packed from the nearest ‘Zappstore’ for delivery within as little as 20 minutes, 24/7.

Zapp says that this makes it one of the only convenience retailers available on Uber Eats night and day.

Ajay Lakhwani, Chief Commercial Officer at Zapp, said: “By partnering with Uber Eats, it’s great to be reaching even more Londoners as we further our mission to delight customers with things that make them happy, the moment they want it.”

“Whether it’s hosting spontaneous drinks, snacks from the sofa, getting everyday essentials or even last-minute gifts, customers can order Zapp on Uber Eats for delivery in minutes, 24/7.”

Alex Troughton, Head of Commerce at Uber Eats UK, said: “We’re excited to partner with Zapp to offer round the clock convenience as one of the few 24/7 retailers on the platform.”

“We know that more and more customers are using Uber Eats to order those ‘need it now’ items and will enjoy shopping Zapp’s curated and premium catalogue.”

“From vintage wine and Italian delicatessen food, to Daylesford farm produce and household brands like Apple and Bamford, it brings something truly different to Uber Eats.”
