HKT has added a new drop shipping service to its B2B.
“We are using our social media platforms to urge the public to contact their local bike shop if they would like to purchase anything from HKT. If retailers want to list more of our product portfolio on their website then get in touch and we will be more than happy to help.
“This service will continue until we are forced to close the office or the corona virus status changes.
“FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ORDERS: Right now we believe in making it as easy as possible to work together and keep supporting you. Whether you have a customer desperate for a single set of brake pads or you just want to place a regular stock order. It’s free shipping across the board.
“BUSINESS SUPPORT: Basically, if we can help with anything then we are here and available to help you! Our phone is always on, we are keeping a close eye on emails and we have the option to video meet if somebody would like too.”
Marin, too, is offering a fully PDI’s drop ship service to end consumers.
“While we are being asked to avoid direct contact with customers, dealers can still process orders and get the bike delivered directly to their door. The bikes will be prepped to a ready-to-ride state, having been professionally pre-assembled using sanitary protocols for the utmost safety.
“For Marin dealers looking to get goods shipped directly to their customers, retailers should add a note on their B2B order, e-mail uk-enquiries@marinbikes.com, or call their account manager.”
