Home delivery services make a lot of sense in a town like Grahamstown where most people don't have their own cars.
Home delivery services make a lot of sense in a town like Grahamstown where most people don't have their own cars.
If a customer is reluctant to buy a piece of furniture or other large item because he or she cannot work out how to carry the item back home, then it's logical that the business should provide such a service. This is particularly true because the business owner has a delivery vehicle and the customer doesn't.
As most companies charge a nominal fee for delivering furniture to a home, they do not incur any significant loss from the service, but they do make it easier for the customer to buy. An efficient home delivery will also gain the good will of the customer who might make additional purchases in the future.
Of course, here in Grahamstown most home deliveries are from fast food outlets who simply provide a service for people who don't feel like going out.
