The clothing retailer also said that it will offer 8 PM cut-off for free next-day pickup at more than 800 of its stores for its click-and-collect services.
Additionally, M&S is taking many other new initiatives at about 20 stores to make order collections simpler for shoppers – including digital check-ins and express collection.
