Toolstation – part of Travis Perkins – has launched a new rapid same-day delivery service with TradeKart, delivering orders directly to site.
The first phase will roll out in November, giving plumbers, builders, electricians and decorators access to over 10,000 products for delivery in as little as one hour.
The service is designed to support tradespeople and DIYers who need access to materials whilst still on site or completing a job; helping them save time, and the hassle of leaving a site which can cause delays to jobs.
It launches after research by Toolstation found that 28% of tradespeople said that 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; a huge cost and time burden. The new delivery service gives thousands of tradespeople access to essential tools and supplies, ready to handle any unexpected situation.
The rapid service will initially be available at 44 Toolstation stores across the UK, covering London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh, before being rolled out across Toolstation’s store network.
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.”
