Kathmandu Launches Free Online Delivery
Kathmandu Launches Free Online Delivery
Outdoor clothing and equipment retailer Kathmandu today launched free delivery for all products bought online.
Until now Kathmandu customers needed to pay for delivery unless they ordered $150 worth of goods.
But from today all orders online in Australia and New Zealand will be free.
Kathmandu Chief Executive Peter Halkett said the company wanted to reward its loyal Summit Club members who drive a significant proportion of online sales.
“We are always trying to offer customers more value for money and offering free delivery is another way we can give them something extra,” Mr Halkett said.
“We recently conducted a free delivery trial and found the customer response was fantastic, which is why we decided to introduce the new initiative” More than 550,000 people belong to the Summit Club.
Online trading for Kathmandu is the equivalent of sales from a mid-sized store in Australia and New Zealand.
