Due to ongoing cost pressures, Bira Direct supplier Draper Tools has announced an unavoidable carriage cost review from 1st April 2023.
In a letter to their business partners and customers, they have said:
"We hope that you and your team are well. We're reaching out to advise you that from 1st April 2023, we are making a few necessary changes to carriage costs.
It's been over 12 months since we reviewed our delivery charges, and as you'll be aware, over this period we've all experienced increased costs associated with running a business. After careful analysis of the incremental increases in transport charges passed to us by our supply partners and in order to sustain our fast turnaround time, we've had to make a few small market-competitive changes to some of the carriage options we offer.
Orders placed via our B2B website or EDI will be updated as below. We've ensured that the new costs are still market competitive.
Orders that don't meet our carriage paid threshold (from £100 for B2B orders and £150 for non-B2B orders) are subject to an additional charge:
The implementation of these changes will enable us to maintain a high standard of service across our operations, ensuring 24h-48h dispatch on most orders, and fast, reliable deliveries. You can count on us to deliver what you order, when you need it, enabling you to uphold excellent customer service.
We greatly appreciate your continued business and support. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding these increases, please don't hesitate to reach out. OUr team is more than happy to discuss the situation with you.
Please note: These are specific changes to specific services and all other changes and terms remain the same.
Sincerely,
Matt Sheen
Draper Tools CEO
