The Fine Food Store online deli store has teamed up with DHL Express to offer DHL@home and DHL24 express deliveries of organic gourmet food to homes and businesses.
The finefoodstore.co.uk the rapidly expanding online delicatessen store has teamed up with DHL Express to offer express deliveries to homes and businesses. The fine food store is the UK’s online delicatessen and has a huge array of deli products and luxury hampers. The DHL delivery service allows placing order with the http://www.finefoodstore.co.uk online with the knowledge that the order is in safe hands. David Porter Managing Director explains, "We are delighted to have teamed up with DHL one of the World's biggest couriers to deliver our delicatessen and gourmet hampers orders. Over the last 12 months we have seen a huge increase in home deliveries so it was a natural progression that we grow our business with one of the World's biggest courier, if not the biggest. Their track record for home deliveries is superb with over 94% being delivered first time using their DHL@home delivery service. Did you know that 50% of households are empty between 10.00am and 4pm, so this service is especially good for home deliveries as they deliver between 5pm and 9pm. For business locations they deliver via DHL24 where they will deliver between the business hours of 9am to 5pm. This service allows companies like the findfoodstore.co.uk to compete with high street stores, and supermarkets, especially when some of the gourmet foods are not ambient and need delivery as quick as possible. The later hours for home deliveries was one of the main considerations in us teaming up with DHL, it was important to us that DHL actually realised in an increasing Internet world, that the delivery was key to the grow and success of our business. David continues, "For an expanding business it is very important to build trust with our customers. So when spending their hard earned money online the customers need to be assured that what they have purchased will arrive on time and in perfect condition. We believe that DHL will only help to achieve this, they offer the very latest online tracking technologies, where as, our customers will be emailed all the relevant tracking details once the goods have been collected by DHL. It will offer the customer the chance to see the full tracking of there parcel from the home PC or laptop, it will clearly show where there consignment is at any stage of its journey to the end destination. I believe this is just another clear example on how customers can be informed that their order is in safe hands", concludes David. |
