The two shops now offer more than three million items. The largest Swiss online department store now delivers the most popular products in the city of Zurich at lightning speed: Those who order items that are ready in the warehouse in Wohlen, Aargau by 1:00 PM will receive their delivery on the same evening. And at no extra charge. For the approximately 2000 products available at the digitec store in Zurich’s Technopark, even an order placed by 3:00 PM is sufficient.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Expansion to Additional Locations” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”blog_custom_hedH3″][vc_column_text el_class=”blog_custom_contentText”]The new delivery option at digitec and Galaxus is called “Express Delivery.” The logistics partner for this service is the technology company notime, a subsidiary of Swiss Post specializing in same-day and time-slot deliveries. In the first pilot phase, residents of Zurich will benefit from this delivery option. “If the express delivery is well received by customers, we will offer this service in other cities as well,” says Johannes Cramer, COO of Digitec Galaxus.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Lightning Fast and Unpackaged” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”blog_custom_hedH3″][vc_column_text el_class=”blog_custom_contentText”]Digitec Galaxus delivers to its eleven stores from Wohlen once a day. The Zurich store even benefits from two deliveries a day. The products ordered by customers with the express delivery option are handed over in the shop to the notime drivers for sorting and delivery. The couriers deliver the orders using electric small vehicles such as cargo bikes and tricycles right to the customer’s door. The products are delivered without additional cardboard packaging or filler material. Not only does the saved packaging relieve the environment, but the climate-neutral delivery on the last mile does as well.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”blog_custom_contentText”]An SMS informs the customer about the time window for the express delivery. Via mobile phone, the customer can then communicate directly with the driver, adjust their time window, and track the driver live on the final section. If the customer is not at home, they will find their order in the milk box. Through the Followme portal, customers of digitec and Galaxus can exclude the possibility of the package being left behind.
