CHICAGO, July 28 - SAME DAY delivery expands in Chicago this month, providing consumers with greater ease and convenience in their retail experiences. Water Tower Place, located on Chicago's Magnificent Mile is partnering with Deliv to offer the service, which gives visitors to who love to shop the option of having purchases made in-store or online delivered to nearly any local hotel throughout Chicago.

The Deliv same-day delivery platform enables all retailers in a mall to offer cost-effective and flexible same-day delivery to their shoppers, making use of the scale provided by multiple tenants working together in a single delivery system. Water Tower Place is one of only a few shopping centers nationwide that is leveraging Deliv's breakthrough model for same-day delivery and building out the critical layer of secured infrastructure, including providing runners, safe item storage, shipping consolidation locations and dedicated parking for crowdsourced delivery vehicles.

"We understand that shopping is the number one activity for many Chicago visitors, especially from International markets." says Katie Lindsay, Marketing Manager for Water Tower Place. "This new SAME DAY service provides visitors the convenience of safely sending purchases back to their hotel rooms so they can enjoy dinner, our new Chicago Sports Museum or the Broadway Playhouse theatre with being encumbered by bags and boxes from their day of shopping."

The SAME DAY platform incorporates smart routing and full transparency, including the ability for shoppers to watch their delivery on a map in real time from pickup to their hotel. The price of same-day delivery will be as low as $5, the same or less than standard shipping. Through July 31, Water Tower Place will offer its SAME DAY service free of charge.

SAME DAY service hours and delivery zones will vary, but encompass an approximately 15-mile-wide delivery radius.
