Apps and online giants can certainly make life easier, but do they make it better? The truth is that internet purchases and their delivery damage local economies and the environment.
30% – 40% commissions are now paid by our local shops and businesses, pushing up prices and forcing people out of business.
A staggering 5.9 billion items are delivered every year in the UK,
with one in every three items returned.
The massive use of additional packaging adds up to thousands of tons of wasted cardboard.
Huge amounts of fossil fuels are used in delivery. Even electricity is not 100% green.
58 % of UK electricity is produced by burning gas or coal or comes from nuclear power.
This a huge waste of resources and is not good for our environment.
Step to Shops is the ethical alternative to online giants and delivery apps. It’s a unique platform that empowers neighbourhood businesses and communities by promoting local shopping that benefits both the economy and the environment.
We have created a system with no commissions, no apps, no subscriptions and no contracts. Business owners instead, retain 100% of their income and pay a simple flat rate package starting at £35 a week.
You can take simple steps to help us help everyone.

Remember why
‘walk to buy’ is better
