Tesco Direct to close as it falls to other online retailers
Online shop Tesco Direct -- the non-food outlet of British supermarket Tesco -- will close this summer. The store, which sells electronics, clothing, sports goods and video games has "no route to profitability" according to bosses. The site and its distribution center will close on July 9th, with 500 workers facing redundancy.
Tesco Direct to charge for smaller Click & Collect orders
If you frequently pop into Tesco, or one just happens to be close to your home, Click & Collect can be a compelling proposition. Instead of waiting in the house for a delivery truck, you can pick up your online orders at a time that's convenient for you. However, one aspect of Tesco's service is about to get a little more expensive. From February 2nd Click & Collect orders under £30 from Tesco Direct, its site for non-food products, will come with a £2 surcharge. It falls in line with Grocery Click & Collect, which already charges (typically £4) for orders under £40.
