The CK Daily – Need something fast? We offer Curbside Pickup!
Happy Friday, folks! One of our recent customers was traveling through Atlanta. Their address indicated they were in Puerto Rico. However, they were completing a project in Atlanta and were heading back to Puerto Rico that evening. Within a couple of hours of placing the order, they arrived at our warehouse to pick up the transceiver modules to take with them for a project the next day…in Puerto Rico!
Why am I sharing this story? Our vision at CablesAndKits is to enable our customers to complete their IT projects on time. We understand that lead times are critical in getting the products needed to complete projects. We’ve even heard of some gear having over 200-day lead times. That is just crazy!!
To fulfill our vision, we have to do things differently. This is why we stock so much equipment and cabling to be able to ship it out the same day.
But what happens if you need it on the same day? That’s why we offer Curbside Pickup! If you’re in the Atlanta, GA, area or traveling through, you can place an order and select Curbside Pickup for the Same Day! And if you can’t swing by, we can schedule a courier to deliver across town. Just give us a call, and we’ll do everything we can to help you be successful!
Whether you need to complete your IT projects in the next few weeks or today, we’ve got you covered. Order by 8 PM for same-day shipping, or if you’re local, select Curbside Pickup and stop by our warehouse. We’re ready to serve you now and not in 200 days.
Have a great weekend!
Chris
