Ikea shoppers can now collect their purchases from the mobile pick-up points located in several Tesco car parks.
The service is free for orders of more than £100 and costs £5 for all other orders.
All customers need to do when they place their order online is choose the click-and-collect option, select a store and book a delivery slot.
Vehicles will be parked in signposted areas in the Tesco car park where someone will be available to hand orders out.

There are two collection windows available per day depending on the location, and customers will need to show the order confirmation on arrival.
If the slot you want is not showing at the checkout stage, it means all the slots have already been booked for that time and you will need to pick another one.
The most recent location to be revealed is at the Tesco Ashford Park Farm branch in Kent, which is the fourth location in the county.
The service is ideal for shoppers who do not live close to an Ikea store and fans have been taking to social media to praise the initiative.
