Dulux Decorator Centre has expanded its delivery options, building on the company’s already robust Rapid delivery service with the introduction of an e-cargo bike service at two stores in London.
In partnership with Absolutely, a same day courier service, Dulux Decorator Centre’s new delivery service utilises e-cargo bikes to provide a practical solution for London-based professionals that are looking for speedy deliveries in a busy city hub. The e-cargo bikes can beat the London traffic and ensure decorators get the supplies they need quickly and conveniently, without having to leave a job through the service which promises to deliver within 90 minutes.
The Absolutely e-cargo bikes also offer a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional delivery vans, and are said to be ideal for high-density, short-distance jobs, such as those found in the UK’s capital. ULEZ compliant, and with zero emissions, the e-cargo bikes ensure decorators and painting contractors can choose a more sustainable delivery option – helping them to meet their own sustainability goals, all while being able to complete jobs more efficiently.
Dulux Decorator Centre’s delivery offering already includes same-day delivery, Rapid delivery within two hours and click and collect services. Duncan Lochhead, the specialist decorating merchant’s Commercial Sustainability Manager, said: “We understand that fast and reliable delivery is crucial for decorators and contractors across the country. In busy city centres like London, it is important to source solutions that can beat the traffic and ensure supplies arrive quickly and conveniently, whilst avoiding the need for decorators to down tools.
“We also know that our customers are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, with many seeking more sustainable solutions for their operations. That’s why we are delighted to announce our new e-cargo bikes. They are not only setting a new benchmark for convenience in the industry, but the environmental credentials of the e-cargo bikes will help our customers to reduce their carbon footprint too.”
Faye Calland, Sales and Marketing Director at Absolutely, added: “Absolutely is thrilled to join forces with Dulux Decorator Centre to introduce a rapid electric cargo bike service to its London customers. Sustainability is at the core of the Absolutely operations, and we are proud to boast one of the largest electric cargo bike fleets in London. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to deliver efficient, eco-friendly results while providing swift and reliable delivery solutions.”
