Dot.com First From Halfords
Halfords has launched “Free Delivery To Store”, a new service where customers can choose from Halfords’ extensive online range, and then collect in store.
This innovative new service means customers can order any item available on Halfords website then pick up from their local store – free of delivery charge. This dramatically extends the breadth of range customers can access and saves them the cost of delivery.
“Free Delivery To Store” builds on Halfords leading service - Reserve & Collect which recently had its millionth order and it’s busiest ever day - on Christmas Day. Both initiatives give customers the option of using Halfords’ in-store fitting services, such as child seats and audio fitting, bike build and sat nav demos on the products they buy - when they come into store to pick them up.
“We continue to invest in Halfords.com to make it easier and more enjoyable for customers to shop with Halfords. “Free Delivery To Store” builds on our success with Reserve and Collect, providing a wider range from your local store,” said Chris Corbin, Head of Halfords.com.
“We know that our customers prefer to collect in-store because of the fitting services we offer and because it is often more convenient than waiting in for a delivery.”
Chris added: “We believe “Free delivery To Store” will prove very popular with our customers”
Now Halfords.com customers can choose between 4 different delivery services - Free Delivery to Store, Reserve and Collect, Text and Reserve and Home Delivery.
