home delivery?

[DanBaker]

Just wondering if you provide home delivery or not , and if so is it self sufficient?

Well I work in a high street store,it's not exactly a residential area so we wouldn't benifit from offering this service to our customers as there is not the demand for it.

No we don't offer home delivery as we are a local store situated in a small village, and the houses are too sporadic so there would be no point as the cost in petrol would out way a reasonable price to charge customers for delivery.

yes we offer home delivery and are self sufficient as we charge a standard delivery fee to our customers.We have seven newspaper rounds , covering a three mile radius. Also being next to the Hospital we deliver a variety of newspaper and magazine titles on a daily basis to them.

We offer home delivery when people do their grocery shopping online. Before they do their shop they are asked to pick a delivery slot which we charge for. The cost of delivery varies depending on which time they choose . Obviously the more popular times being evening and weekends are generally more expensive than say 9am. So we are self sufficiant.

Yes we offer it aswell. We sell electrical goods and the majority of people obviously cannot fit a fridge in their car. People would be put off buying from us if they are going to have difficulty moving their purchase from A to B.

I assumed we are talking about news/mags deliveries specifically?

Done right, a news-round should support itself, ideally making some extra money, but at the end of the day, as long as its not a loss-leader then you're doing ok.
