Toolstation launches rapid delivery service
Toolstation has launched a new rapid same-day delivery service from selected stores.
The move means that DIYers, plumbers, builders, electricians and decorators can access over 10,000 products for delivery in as little as one hour.
The retailer has teamed up with TradeKart on the service, which will initially be available at 44 of the retailer’s stores across the UK, including in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh. It will then be rolled out across Toolstation’s entire store network.
The move follows a study by Toolstation which found that 28% of tradespeople said a same-day delivery service would make a positive difference to their business. The research also found that the average tradesperson in the UK currently loses over three hours a week collecting materials from stores.
Chris Other, customer director at Toolstation, said: “This rapid delivery service will enable us to go even further to meet the needs of our customers.
“We know how busy they are and the challenges they face when working on site, and no one wants to down tools and spend time battling traffic to pick up a specific product.
“Partnering with Tradekart means that we can provide customers with the ultimate convenience that will keep them on the job.”
