HIGHTSTOWN, N.J.—The management teams of East Coast News and its sister companies recently held their annual meeting in Princeton, N.J., and received a delivery timeframe analysis from FedEx.
According to the report, from March through June all deliveries form East Coast News warehouses in New Jersey, Florida and California delivered on time 99.2 percent of the time. Additionally, retailers who bought via distribution received their products on time 99.6 percent of the time via FedEx Ground, while ECN’s drop shipping service was delivered on time 98.1 percent of the time via FedEx Home Delivery.
FedEx also reported that the average time spent in transit for orders shipped via FedEx Ground was only 2.39 days, with almost 62 percent of all orders being received in two days or less.
“We are extremely pleased with how FedEx has performed these last few months,” said Kevin Guilford, sales manager at East Coast News. “Having such an amazing on-time delivery rate doesn’t only benefit ECN, but also the customers receiving the orders. A faster delivery means fewer days in inventory, allowing us to constantly replenish our stock. And meeting and exceeding customer deadlines drives home our motto, our world revolves around our customers.”
East Coast News attributes the timely deliveries to two main reasons. One, having warehouses that carry the same products in three prime areas of the United States allows for a much quicker turnaround. Customers have their products shipped from the warehouse that is closest geographically to them. Second, FedEx is constantly working to improve their delivery times, and always coming up with new and innovative ways to do just that.
