Argos Starts Same-Day Service at £3:95 for all of UK
 
http://media.skynews.com/media/image...-1-736x414.jpg



[The retailer is using its network of 840 UK stores,
alongside its delivery centres, to fulfil its offering
from Wednesday - having hired 3,300 drivers
to run a fleet of 800 vans.
Argos said its seven-day Fast Track service
was aimed at "revolutionising online shopping"
in the run-up to the industry's
busiest time of the year, Christmas.
A total of 20,000 of the retailer's 50,000
products were available under the
scheme, which will cost users a
flat delivery fee of £3.95 regardless
of how much is spent.

I assume so

It literally sounds like a logistical nightmare.

I can't see it working, come christmastime the roads will be gridlocked with 100s of drops for one van unless there's a minimum order surely?
