Toolstation launches rapid UK delivery with TradeKart partnership
The service enables customers to select immediate delivery, schedule a delivery, or plan up to seven days in advance
Toolstation is set to roll out its rapid delivery service to over 460 of its stores across the UK, following a successful trial in partnership with TradeKart.
Customers can now choose from 10,000 products and orders will be delivered to the site in as little as 30 minutes.
The service also enables customers to select immediate delivery, schedule a delivery, or plan up to seven days in advance.
Additionally, customers can place their orders through the TradeKart app and track them in real time from store to door for a £5 delivery fee. However, to celebrate the launch, TradeKart is offering free delivery on all orders over £25 when a special discount code is applied.
TradeKart offers a rapid delivery service connecting tradespeople and merchants, with deliveries fulfilled through a network of over 150,000 drivers across the UK using partners such as Uber, Gophr, and City Sprint.
Chris Other, customer director at Toolstation, 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.”
Alistair McAuley, founder and chief executive at TradeKart, added: “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.”
