Local shopping has never been so quick and easy

Marram and Bella June Flowers, sign up to offer one-hour delivery of products in Hassocks

Two high street businesses in Hassocks are tearing up the local shopping rule book, with the help of new app: DropBuy.

Both Marram and Bella June Flowers have signed up as suppliers on the app, which promises a one-hour local delivery service from products listed on its virtual shelves. Shoppers can simply search for the nearest stores to them by postcode, and browse the products available for immediate delivery to you, or direct to the recipient.

Millie Hampson of Marram said: “We are thrilled to be among the first to have signed up to this new way of shopping. We are always looking for ways to be able to compete with the likes of Amazon, and this super-fast delivery goes one better! We really hope this encourages local customers with busy lives to feel that they can use and support their high street without having to be ON the high street.”

Ben from DropBuy explained: “Our app enables users to support local businesses, boosting the local economy and giving business opportunities for employment of local drivers, as well as fostering the unique spirit of Hassocks.”

“As a delivering florist,” Kelly Harding from Bella June Flowers said, “DropBuy is a game-changing concept! A one-hour delivery service is something I would struggle to offer as an independent business owner, but with the help of DropBuy, we can now get our products out to our local customers fast and with little more than a click on the app.”
