The scheme is designed to speed up delivery times and encourage shoppers to stay at home during the Covid-19 pandemic.. It joined the supermarkets and hypermarkets, including Carrefour, Union Co-op and Lulu, that already offer home delivery.. InstaShop connects shoppers to local supermarkets and mini-marts, but waiting times are currently higher than usual too..
