1250 Wines Now Available for Next Day Delivery
Majestic Wine PLC today announces a significant step in its
transformation plan with the launch of a named and next day
delivery service for Majestic's full wine range, one of the largest
in the UK. The service will be through a new National Fulfilment
Centre ("NFC") and will bring three main benefits to our customers
and people:
1. Improved customer service: Customers will now be able to
request flexible delivery options through; click and collect, named
and next day delivery services, online and in our 210 stores across
the UK. The six bottle minimum online order has been removed and a
"No Quibble" returns policy is in place so customers can feel
confident they can order their wines online and get their money
back if they don't like their choices.
2. Improved wine availability: To make stores simpler and easier
to shop in, each store now has better tailored ranges to recognise
local customer tastes. Online there is a full range of over 1250
wines to choose from, including almost 400 fine wines. This will be
one of the largest ranges in the UK, available at:
www.majesticwine.co.uk
3. Making our people's lives easier: Task will be taken away
from stores as approximately 40% of all online orders will now be
fulfilled through the NFC. This will allow our people to focus on
customer service rather than shifting boxes and organising
deliveries.
The NFC is managed by Wincanton PLC and based in Greenford. The
full roll out of the service will be complete on 2 November 2016,
in time for the start of the peak Christmas trading period. We do
not expect the new facility to impact earnings in the current
financial year.
John Colley, Managing Director of Majestic Retail commented:
"This is a big step in our transformation plan and will help
support Christmas trading. We are putting the customer back at the
heart of Majestic and can now offer a complete multi-channel
experience which will deliver real benefits to our customers,
people and therefore our shareholders"
