3PL Appliance Delivery Helps Retailers and their Customers
Did you know Redkey Express, in addition to being a local courier and shipping resource to companies all over country, is also a 3rd party appliance delivery company in Cincnnati?
In fact, this is one of our fastest-growing services. It’s a win-win, benefitting both retail appliance customers and the retailers themselves.
How 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) Helps Retail Customers
Third-party appliance delivery benefits the customer in several ways, making the process more convenient, efficient and hassle-free. Here’s how:
Convenient and hassle-free Appliance delivery
- Customers don’t need to arrange their own transportation for large appliances.
- The delivery service brings the appliance directly to their home, often placing it in the desired location.
Professional handling and reduced risk of damage
- Professional couriers are used to handling heavy and bulky items like appliances safely.
- The risk of damage during transit is reduced.
- If damage does occur, 3PL services like Redkey Express will quickly resolve the issue.
Installation and setup options
- Like many other Cincinnati appliance delivery companies, we offer installation (connecting water lines, power, or vents, etc.) if the retailer requests this service.
- We can also include testing to ensure the appliance is functioning correctly.
Removal of old appliances
- Redkey Express offers old appliance removal upon request, so the customer doesn’t have to worry about getting rid of their old refrigerator, washer or dryer when buying a new one.
- We find customers really appreciate this service for large, bulky items like the above, or ovens, hot water heaters, etc.
Convenient delivery times and tracking in real time
- Customers can choose when to have their new appliance delivered, based on what is convenient for their schedule.
- Real-time tracking lets customers know exactly when the delivery truck will arrive.
Support: Warranties and returns
- If an item arrives in other than perfect condition, we work with the retailer to coordinate a quick replacement or repair.
- If desired, we can handle returns directly.
Saves time and effort
- Customers don’t need to rent a truck, move heavy appliances or worry about setup.
- They can focus on using their new appliance rather than struggling with logistics.
