Some mornings, you step outside and the heat hits you like you've walked into a conservatory with no ventilation. That’s exactly what much of the UK has been dealing with this July record-breaking heatwaves that make even the idaea of standing in a queue feel like a challenge on a reality show. According to the Met Office, temperatures soared past 32°C in London last week, and forecasters warn it's not cooling down anytime soon.

Now, imagine this: you’re managing the heat, trying to get through your day, and suddenly you realise you need something important. Maybe it’s your prescription, maybe it’s paracetamol, maybe it’s bottled water because you’re out and your local shop feels like a furnace. You’re already dehydrated just thinking about it and the thought of queueing under a scorching sun? No thanks.

This is where we step in.

What We’re Really Doing (Beyond Just Delivery)

We didn’t create Onelivery just to “bring things quickly”. That’s not the point. What we really care about is easing your day when things feel harder than usual. When heatwaves hit, public transport slows down, tempers rise, and people naturally avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.

If you’ve got elderly relatives, small kids, or even a hectic workday to manage, these temperatures aren’t just uncomfortable they’re potentially risky. Heat-related illnesses like dehydration, heatstroke, and fatigue don’t discriminate. That’s why being able to get your medication, hydration, and even cooling essentials delivered on the same day isn’t a luxury it’s part of staying safe.

No Queues, No Stress, No Melting

We’ve noticed the difference our service makes during hot spells. Parents who can’t drag their toddlers into the sun for calpol. Carers who can’t leave their patients unattended. Elderly customers who simply don’t want to risk it. These are the people we deliver to every day and we take that seriously.

We aren’t just another delivery service. We’re part of the community, and in weeks like this one, that matters. Our riders cheque in, they communicate with your pharmacist if needed, and they make sure you’re not left waiting. Because queueing in this heat isn’t just uncomfortable it’s avoidable.

Let’s Keep It Simple

If you need something today, we’re here. Whether it’s from your pharmacy, your local store, or a shop across town, we’ll collect and deliver it safely often in under an hour.

You stay cool. We’ll do the running around.
