Boots has joined forces with Deliveroo to get essentials to households in quick time.
Brits will be able to get everything from make-up to cough medicine in a hurry after the chemist chain announced a tie-up with the delivery firm.
The two companies have launched a pilot scheme with more than 400 Boots products from 14 stores.
Other products that can be delivered to people’s homes in 20 minutes include tampons, deodorant, children’s medicines like Calpol, face cream and mascara.
Paula Bobbett, director of Boots.com at Boots UK, said: “It will be super handy for times when you need something urgently but can’t leave the house, like if you’re feeling unwell or are looking after your kids.”

Boots saw a continued rise in online sales during successive lockdowns, including an 85% jump on the website between March 1 2020 and a year later.
Carlo Mocci, chief business officer for Deliveroo in the UK and Ireland, said: “This partnership will mean more choice and selection for our consumers, delivered in as little as 20 minutes, and will create more work for riders across the UK.”
