Suoermarket Asda has launched a click and collect service at six London Underground stations.
From yesterday the supermarket began operating the service at East Finchley, Harrow and Wealdstone, High Barnet, Highgate, Stanmore and Epping. The same-day service will be available for anyone spending more than £15 at a cost of £1.50.
Customers will be asked to order before 12 noon and collect orders after 4pm as they journey home. The trial will be extended to other stations if it proves successful.
The supermarket said its customers will be 'the first in the world to trial this type of service' which it is operating in partnership with Transport for London (TFL).
Retail director Mark Ibbotson said: 'Customers in the South East tell us they want the prices and quality provided by Asda value but they can't access it easily. This tie-up with TfL solves that.'
The launch is part of a plan to extend the supermarket's click and collect service to 1000 collection points by 2018 including park and ride sites, business parks and underground station car parks.
It said the technology for the collection service has been developed together wtih Walmart labs in California, a division of the supermarket's parent company.
