On Friday, Woolworths announced it has expanded its contactless drive-through service to almost 30 new stores in Victoria, to help make social distancing easier for customers when picking up their online orders.
Stores in Altona North, Hogans Corner, Hoppers Crossing, Werribee Central, Werribee Plaza and Williamstown are offering the service, which allows customers to order groceries online and have personal shoppers pick them out in-store.
Customers confirm when they’ve arrived in the store’s carpark via the Woolworths app or SMS link, and store employees will pack the order into the vehicle.
All drive-through orders must be placed through Woolworths.com.au with a minimum value of $30.
