Home Depot goes express
The Home Depot has introduced a new service to its DIY and pro customers.
The world’s largest home improvement retailer is now offering express delivery service in 35 metro markets. This includes same-day or next-day delivery of more than 20,000 products.
Qualifying products for the new express delivery option range from power tools to décor to garden supplies, with delivery options starting at $8.99, The Home Depot said.
"This is just the beginning of our expansion of improved delivery options, but it's a significant milestone in the way we're serving customers," said Mark Holifield, executive vice president of supply chain and product development.
The company is partnering with car and van providers like Roadie and Deliv to offer the new delivery options for smaller items, while continuing to expand its supply chain network for faster shipments of large bulk deliveries.
The Atlanta-based company said the ongoing investment calls for additional direct fulfillment centers and more than 100 new distribution sites to further extend delivery speed and reach.
To use the service, customers can choose "Express Delivery from Store" when placing orders through The Home Depot’s site or app.
