Toolstation rolls out rapid delivery service across UK
Toolstation is rolling out its rapid delivery service to over 460 UK stores as it looks to meet growing demand for on-site delivery from tradespeople and DIY customers.
The move follows a successful trial in 44 shops in November in a partnership with TradeKart.
With orders delivered to site in as little as 30 minutes, customers can choose from over 10,000 products. The service allows them to schedule a delivery at a time of their choice, including up to seven days in advance.
Toolstation’s customer director Chris Other said: “At Toolstation our customers want affordable, quality products in their hands quickly.
“Our rapid delivery service offers convenience and speed above everything else, and rolling this out across the majority of our stores means tradespeople will no longer have to sit in traffic to pick up an unplanned item.
“They can now have everything they need in as little as 30 minutes without even leaving their site, keeping project schedules on track.”
Customers place their order on the TradeKart app and can then track it from store to door in real time for a £5 delivery fee, although TradeKart is offering free delivery on all orders over £25 to celebrate the launch if a special discount code is used.
Alistair McAuley, founder and chief executive at TradeKart said: “We’ve had brilliant feedback on the trial from customers and branch colleagues, and I’m delighted this service is now available to support over two million tradespeople across the UK, saving them the valuable time they lose collecting materials.”
