Toolstation, part of Travis Perkins plc and one of the UK’s largest suppliers of tools, accessories and building supplies, is rolling out its rapid delivery service to over 460 of its stores across the UK. This follows a successful trial in November in 44 stores. It will be used to meet growing demand for on-site delivery from tradespeople.
TradeKart offers a rapid delivery service which acts as the conduit between tradespeople and merchants. The deliveries are fulfilled via a delivery network of over 150,000 drivers throughout the UK using partners including Uber, Gophr and City Sprint. Customers simply place their order on the TradeKart app and can then track it from store to door in real time for a £5 delivery fee.
The service delivers to site in as little as 30 minutes, and with over 10,000 products to choose from, it’s ideal for busy trade customers working on the job. Delivery can be scheduled at a time that suits a tradesperson – up to seven days in advance – and is designed to save time and help trades stay focused on the job.
Customers can check to see if the service is available in their area by checking their delivery postcode at https://www.toolstation.com/tradekart-delivery.
To celebrate the launch, TradeKart is offering free delivery on all orders over £25 using code: TS10 at checkout. https://www.toolstation.com/tradekart-delivery.
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.”
