Watsons Invests In Delivery Services, Upgrades Mobile App

The last two years have underscored the importance of getting deliveries of essentials like prescriptions and OTC medications, wellness products such as vitamins and supplements, and personal care items, as soon as possible.

Watsons has invested in online and phone delivery services, such as the Express Delivery Service and Call & Delivery, to give customers more convenience in fulfilling their health, wellness, and beauty needs. The delivery services have also increased customers’ adherence to medication, especially for patients who have maintenance and required doses. Watsons also delivers nationwide, with the exception of some areas outside of their logistics partners’ delivery zones.

The retailer has also made these services affordable so that more Filipinos could avail of them. Filipinos can now get their hands on their health essentials with a delivery fee of Php50 nationwide.

“We realized during the pandemic that many people, especially seniors, could not leave their homes. So, what we did was to make sure that no one would miss taking their maintenance medications or daily vitamins,” said Rickett Cruz, Watsons Philippines E-commerce Senior Manager, O+O Business Development E-Commerce.

Watsons Express Delivery Service was initially just available in Metro Manila and select cities in Cavite, Rizal, Laguna and Bulacan but has now been expanded to the Visayas and Mindanao. Among the areas covered in the Visayas and Mindanao are Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, and Davao.

Aside from delivery services, customers also have the option to order products and collect them in store within 30 minutes after placing the order via the Click & Collect feature of the Watsons App. The app is also loaded with exclusive deals and offers stackable coupons that will make the shopping experience budget-friendly and convenient at the same time.
