CafePress and Others Stay Close to UPS
Tuesday 17th of April 2007 01:28:47 AM
UPS, which has a large shipping hub in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, has attracted other businesses to build around them in order to help process orders and get them to customers in less time. Two companies, CafePress.com, and Solectron, decided to build next to UPS so they would be able to ship items quickly and as a way to save in shipping costs. The result has been added jobs, increased profits for each company, and a way to get orders processed faster.CafePress.com, which offers t-shirt printing and other types of printing to small business retailers and individuals who want to order an item or two, have found that they are able to ship more items in less time because of their location. In addition to being located next to UPS, the company is also located near the Louisville International Airport. UPS is able to ship items quickly by air and land because the airport is so close. CafePress.com has plenty of t-shirts to print, mugs to design, and many other novelty items to customise in a given day. Being able to ship items quickly has earned them a reputation for quick turnaround by satisfied customers.
Being located next to major shipping hubs can help new companies be able to better serve their customers. Regardless of whether a company sells embroidered shirts or refrigerators, being able to reach customers quickly is important. Other advantages include being able to process orders later in the day because UPS has later pick-up times near the airport. Companies are able to stay ahead of their orders, which means these orders may be sent out even earlier than promised. Being able to provide this type of customer service is the best way to stay ahead of the competition.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
