aspenhome Introduces 10-Day Land Delivery Program

Furniture World Magazine

aspenhome announced that it is responding to market demands for quick delivery with its new “ASAP land delivery” program which delivers its furniture to retailers anywhere in the United States in 10 days or less. Effective March 1, the ASAP program (short for aspenhome Ships As Priority) enables U.S. retailers to order from its extensive list of open-stock, aspenhome inventory made either overseas or in the U.S., delivered coast to coast in 10 days or less. The “ASAP” 10-Day Land Delivery Program brings significant benefits to the retailer; the ability to better meet the ‘I want it now’ need of their consumer, the ability to fulfill special orders in a reasonable time frame, and especially now during tough economic times, the ability to meet the retailer’s desire for “just in time delivery” to minimize inventory levels that they must warehouse and finance. Included with the in-stock program are most home office, entertainment, bedroom, dining, and occasional products, as well as selected leather products. The ASAP Program is the perfect land complement to the current Savings Express Container Program (SE) of aspenhome which has for years reliably delivered its products from its China warehouses. “With our new “ASAP” 10-Day Land Delivery Program, retailers do not have to invest in large inventories of product to keep their customers happy,” stated Dave Heard, aspenhome executive vice president of sales. “The additional ability for a retailer to more quickly test a new aspenhome collection, with this new delivery process, will jumpstart the flow of product when a new collection is introduced.” “By utilizing both our U.S. and China warehouse facilities more fully, we can extend our commitment to our retailers for even greater on-time service of our high quality products,” added Kim Whitlock, aspenhome vice president of logistics. “By offering this new level of land delivery service, we can further help retailers as our business partners by offering more ways to better flow goods, which will in turn help their businesses and satisfy their customers,” claims Bill Colegrove, CEO and general manager of aspenhome. “We have tested this program for over a year before offering it ‘coast to coast’ to our retailers, because we know how important consistent execution of this level of service will be for both our reputation and that of our retailers. We are now very excited and comfortable to be able to put this program in play for the whole country.” aspenhome has evolved over the past 30 years from a small family owned home entertainment business based in Phoenix to a full line furniture company specializing in thoughtfully designed innovative products for the way people work, play and relax at home.
