This same-day delivery service brings DIY essentials and trade materials directly to homes and job sites in as little as 2-3 hours.

Orders can be placed seven days a week during store opening hours, making it easy for customers to plan deliveries around their schedules. The delivery experience is also powered by Metapack, which connects Wickes' online checkout with Gophr's courier network. Acting as the delivery management system, Metapack automatically allocates orders and provides full visibility for both customers and store teams."
