In a news report at the end of last week, it was reported that last year only ten percent of Christmas presents were bought online and predictions are that this year this figure will rise to twelve percent. This figure sounds a little dubious considering how much the humble act of going into town to do a bit of shopping now costs – and that’s without buying anything!
It is little wonder then that so many retailers and service providers are realising the benefit of offering an online service where goods and services can be dropped straight to your door without the hassle that a trip out brings. Once you have taken into account the obvious expenses of the cost of travelling in and out of your destination and parking etc there is also that amount of time that this can take out of your day too. With the cost of road fuel rocketing, which only increases the pain on your wallet due the to increase in congestion that this time of year brings, some councils have just announced that they will be increasing their standard parking rate, a couple of them have even announced that they are intending to double these charges to boot!
So after you have spent out on the fuel, the parking and half of your day getting to where you need to get to, is it time that you started to consider who offers a collection and delivery service?
More and more companies are now wising up to the idea that this is indeed a growing market and gives them a significant edge over competitors who expect you to attend their premises. But, a word of caution… although many companies offer a door to door service, quite often there is a levy charge for this facility which can sometimes make it a less viable option for you as a customer. However all is not lost! After a bit of searching around you can find that there are local companies that can offer the same service at around the same price but with a free courier service.
So when making your decision on who’s services to use, its not simply a choice of who is the cheapest but more the case of which of these service providers offer a free collection and delivery that will offer me the best deal.
