ITS OFFICIAL…WHIZZLE LTD CONFIRMS FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERIES ON ORDERS OF £69+ Rumours had been circulating that Whizzle, the national trade wholesaler of sealants and consumables, would aim to set the standard for the lowest carriage paid order quantity amongst their peers. Even industry insiders were surprised, however, that the level was set at a bargain £69! Commenting, MD Mark Read explained that, while Whizzle was regarded as offering very competitive pricing and superb service within the larger user segment of the industry, many smaller installer/fabricators had found the previous carriage paid figure of £175 too high. “But not anymore!” Mark continued. A sneak preview of Whizzle’s new pricing structure illustrates significant price breaks for higher volume users – although even on smaller quantities prices look highly competitive. Mark added: “For the first time, smaller users can enjoy the benefits that larger users have traditionally enjoyed from Whizzle but without ordering more than is needed. We believe that this new offering provides excellent pricing, next day delivery wit h a 15 minute slot and even the ability to track or change delivery time/location from a mobile phone.” The change takes place on 1 June 2014.
