MyBroadband compared the new Dischem DeliverD service with Clicks delivery and was pleasantly surprised by both options.<\/p>\n

Dischem DeliverD service offers quick same-day deliveries within an hour window, similar to services like Checkers Sixty60 and Pick n Pay asap!.<\/p>\n

Clicks does not have a same-day delivery service yet but does offer online shopping with courier delivery.<\/p>\n

Dischem launched public testing of DeliverD<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in July 2021 at 33 branches across Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

On-demand orders through DeliverD are managed through an agreement between Dischem and Quench (also known as Bash).<\/p>\n

Dischem’s regular online orders are done through an agreement with the Karooooo-owned Picup.<\/p>\n

Clicks launched<\/a><\/strong> a click-and-collect delivery service in 2016 through a partnership with Pargo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dischem delivery options<\/p><\/div>\n

Click-and-collect purchases from Clicks over R200 are free, otherwise it charges R20. Dischem’s click-and-collect option is always free.<\/p>\n

Orders at Clicks will be ready within three business days in major cities, whereas Dischem promises that orders will be ready for collection the next business day.<\/p>\n

For a standard courier, Clicks offers free delivery for orders over R600, otherwise it charges R75.<\/p>\n

For a standard courier service, Dischem charges R35 in metropolitan areas or R150 in non-metro and remote areas. It also offers free deliveries in metros on orders over R600.<\/p>\n

When shopping in the Dischem app, all DeliverD orders are charged a flat R35, and it promises delivery within 60 minutes. However, DeliverD is only available from specific branches.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Clicks delivery options and times<\/p><\/div>\n

MyBroadband ordered a pack of Duracell batteries and a 5m extension cord from each store simultaneously to compare the experience and delivery times.<\/p>\n

The orders were placed just before 08:00 on Wednesday, and Dischem gave us a delivery window of 10:00 \u2013 11:00.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Clicks website stated that delivery would take 2-3 business days, which is typical for many online stores.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our order from Dischem arrived 23 minutes before the scheduled time slot, which is impressive.<\/p>\n

However, it could have been a problem if we weren’t available outside the booked time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Clicks delivery was also early and arrived at 12:30 on Thursday afternoon, a little more than a day after ordering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two items were slightly less expensive from Dischem, but the delivery fees extended this lead.<\/p>\n

This is because Clicks’ courier delivery costs R75 for orders under R600, while Dischem DeliverD charges a flat R35.<\/p>\n

For larger orders, the price discrepancy may not be as significant.<\/p>\n
