Newegg Goes For Same-Day Delivery In Los Angeles

If a retailer wants big growth in business in these times, there is no doubt the company will have to do it with a strong online strategy. A retailer will not be able to do it without meeting the demand of shoppers that are on the go, especially the younger market. Technology is making it easy to shop, therefore, e-retailers are seeking to make it easy to get their products to their customers. This is what has unlocked the door for same-day delivery to become a vital niche to increase online and store sales. It's no coincidence that tech company Newegg has decided to join in and make same-day delivery a part of its' arsenal to compete online.

Newegg has announced that it will launch same-day delivery in Los Angeles starting Tuesday, the day after Labor Day. The tech retailer will provide same-day delivery to all of its' customers within 50 miles of its' City of Industry warehouse. Orders placed by 11am will deliver same day, which all retailers providing the service have their respective cut-off times. On the Newegg site, a shopper can simply checkout and select the "Local Express" service, and their order will be delivered by 6pm. Newegg's same-day delivery will cost an additional $20 bucks to each order.

This could be just the beginning of Newegg's same-day delivery moves. If the service has positive results in Los Angeles, Newegg will expand into Indianapolis, Memphis and Edison, New Jersey. One of the key statements Newegg stated regarding same-day delivery in the article is why it has decided to test the service. Same-day delivery is "quickly becoming the gold standard on online retail", PC World quoting the e-retailer. When big name retailers like Amazon, which sells a number of electronics, begins to offer same-day delivery, other competitors will either make the shift or be slowly swept away. Newegg has it sites on testing in Los Angeles until Christmas of this year.

There is something about the demographics for Los Angeles that keeps retailers coming back for more when it comes to same-day delivery. A number of big name retailers have all rolled out the service in this prime California city, including Google, Amazon, eBay, and more. Wal-Mart is even in the race for same-day delivery, launching the service in a number of US cities. "WalMarttoGo" is the giant retailer's online store pick-up service in which customers can order online and then pick up their order at a local participating store. It is currently being tested in Denver, yet if it thrives, it could hit Los Angeles or another city in California.

It truly does make sense for Newegg to be in the business of same-day delivery, since customers have immediate needs to replace their pc parts. Instead of making deliveries itself, Newegg could partner with a Same-Day Courier like A-1 Express and have computer components and electronics delivered in no time. The Los Angeles Courier has the courier expertise to create an optimal delivery system that fits exactly what Newegg or other tech companies are striving to do. With quick implementation, Newegg can continue to its' daily operations without slowing down at all.
