Curbside pickup is a safe way for customers to receive purchased goods from the comfort of your car and is proving a popular alternative to home delivery.
With the country encouraging social distancing as a measure against the spreading of the Covid-19 virus, more and more people are opting to shop online with major retain chains adapting their procedures to cater for customers in the current circumstances.
An ever-growing number of national chains are now offering clients a service bearing the acronym BOPUS (Buy online, pick-up in-store) where customers can use a type of drive-in service to receive their goods.
