Retail giants IKEA and Tesco have teamed up to launch a new collection project to help customers. The Swedish home furnishings firm is collaborating with the supermarket to expand its 'Collect Near You' to allow shoppers more choice to where they pick up orders.
IKEA, which has stores in Bristol and Exeter in the South West, is working with Tesco sites across England, where designated areas of the car park will have collection points. The first collection point will open in Blackburn on October 10 before further sites in Doncaster, Cambridge, Dereham, Bolton, Stockport and Liverpool are added.
Customers who order more than £200 worth of items will be allowed to use the collection point for free, while all transactions under this amount will be charged £10. IKEA said the project aims to provide customers with "more convenient, accessible, and affordable collection services across the UK".
