When did Asda start grocery click and collect?
Asda launched its Grocery Home Shopping in 1997 with a purely food focus. This changed in 2008 when non-food was introduced to the network and eight years on 98 per cent of homes in the UK are served by www.asda.com and www.george.com. Grocery Click and Collect was launched in 2011 and has grown to more than 15 million orders a year.
Where can I Collect my Asda parcel in the UK?
At the end of 2015, we also launch to you, the UK’s first end-to-end parcel solution which uses minute-by-minute tracking and it allows consumers to return or collect purchases from third party online retailers at more than 600 Asda stores. Parcels can also be collected and sent from Asda forecourts and Click & Collect points across the country.

George, exclusively at Asda, has helped to lead the changing face of British fashion over the past two decades, and we are incredibly proud that our customers have helped us to become one of the largest fashion retailers in Britain. George has built up a reputation for quality, style and value.
