Zebra Products Support for Retailers

DURING the current difficult times the team at Zebra Products has made changes to its ‘Direct Delivery/Drop Shipment Service’, in order to speed up distribution and also make savings for their valued retailers.

The ‘Direct Delivery Service’ allows Zebra Products stockists to place orders and get them delivered directly to their customers home address.

For the service there is usually a £5 charge to all retailers but this will be waived for the foreseeable future.
Said Simon Middleton of Zebra Products: “With immediate effect we will waiver our £5 direct delivery charge to all retailers. This move should assist retailers who want to offer a drop shipment opportunity to their customers.

“This process will speed up deliveries, minimise product handling and reduce packaging too. The relevant carriage charges will still apply where applicable as per our terms and conditions.”
