Supermarkets across the country have been updating how they operate recently due to the coronavirus lockdown. Morrisons has now launched ‘doorstep deliveries’ that will aim to get essential items to those most in need.

Since the coronavirus lockdown started, Morrisons constantly made changes to help customers shop.

This includes changing opening hours and introducing food boxes available for delivery.

Last week, the retailer introduced ‘speedy shopper’ lanes for those only doing small shops.

Morrisons has now announced a new delivery service that will cater for those most in need.

Posting on Twitter, the supermarket chain said: “Our key worker colleagues have been doing more Doorstep Deliveries.

“If you’re an elderly, vulnerable or shielded member of our community, then we could deliver groceries to you.”

How does it work?

The doorstep delivery service has been introduced to help vulnerable and elderly customers who cannot shop in-store.

Orders can be made over the phone and customers can choose from a list of essential items.

These include milk, butter, eggs, cheese, bread, fruit and vegetables.

Meat, fish, frozen items, ready meals and household products can also be ordered.

To qualify for the service, shoppers must live within 10 miles of the supermarket.

If the order is made before 5pm, Morrisons will aim to deliver items as quickly as the following day.

The items will be delivered sticking to social distancing rules and payment is accepted at the time of delivery.

Shoppers are encouraged to use contactless card payments, but chip and pin is also available. Cash is not accepted.

Morrisons also launched a range of food boxes that can be ordered if unable to go to the supermarket.

These are priced between £35 and £55 and include a Meat Essential Box, Family Meat Box, Gluten Free Box and British Food Box.

A Vegetarian Essential Box is also available and the contents of this have recently been upgraded.

Morrisons said the contents had been changed to include more protein-rich products such as meat substitutes.
