Amazon and Asda have today announced that Amazon customers can now take advantage of parcel pickup and label-free, box-free returns at more than 700 Asda stores.
Just in time for the festive season, eligible Amazon orders can be picked up in most Asda stores across the UK, with more locations to be added throughout the coming months.
The new pickup and return options will make shopping at eligible Asda stores even more convenient for customers, who will now be able to do their weekly shopping and parcel collection or returns in one trip.
The partnership also reduces the need for additional shipping boxes, with customers able to simply return the item in the original manufacturer’s packaging.
Thank you to all our customers and colleagues, whose generous support has helped us raise £3.16 million for this year's @BBCCiN appeal.

“Meeting the ever-evolving needs of our customers is a top priority for us at Asda”, said Chris Hall, Vice President, Logistics at Asda.
“This collaboration with Amazon just in time for Christmas marks another landmark moment, not just for our larger stores, but our ever-expanding Asda Express convenience estate.
"By bringing essential services like Amazon parcel pickup and return drop-offs closer to where our customers live and work, we’re able to provide greater convenience to more of the communities we serve across the UK.”
“We work hard to offer customers low prices on a wide selection of products, with fast, convenient delivery options and easy returns,” said John Boumphrey, UK Country Manager of Amazon.
“This collaboration with Asda makes it even easier for customers to pick up ordered items when they’re shopping, or make hassle-free returns at more than 700 locations around the country.”
During checkout, customers can select the parcel pickup location most convenient to them, now including more than 700 Asda locations.

Once the parcel arrives, customers will receive an e-mail notification with the information needed to retrieve it when they’re onsite.
If a return is needed for an order, Amazon customers can drop off returns at eligible Asda stores after generating a QR code by visiting the Amazon.co.uk “Your Orders” page online or in the Amazon Shopping app, clicking “Return or Replace Items”, and following the prompts.
Customers then bring eligible items to the drop-off location in the original manufacturer’s packaging, for them to be packed and shipped at no extra cost.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
