Next day, or standard
Spend £25 and standard delivery to Edinburgh is free; below that it is £3.95. It comes by courier from Boots’s warehouse, not from Princes Street, so the soonest is the next day. Boots names Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats as partners at some of its stores; the app will show whether Princes Street is one of them. See Boots’s delivery options.

Boots suggests they bring along “the order number and a form of photo ID”. Somebody still has to fetch it from Princes Street, so it saves the search, not the journey.
