SAMTHERECORDMAN.COM LAUNCHES SAME-DAY DELIVERY
By Adnews Staff
Toronto-based Samtherecordman.com has introduced a new service for customers in the Greater Toronto Area: same-day delivery of online purchases. The online music and entertainment retailer is initially limiting the service to select top-selling CD and DVD titles, but will eventually expand it to include its entire catalogue. The same-day service is part of Samtherecordman.com's ongoing attempt to lead online music and movie retailing in Canada. The service costs $9.95 plus 75 cents per item and is available on weekdays only. Orders placed before 10 a.m. will be delivered by 5 p.m., while orders placed between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. will be delivered by 10 p.m. that day. The retailer plans on rolling out the same-day delivery service in additional major markets, including Vancouver and Montreal, later this year. Public relations activities from Maverick Public Relations of Toronto are supporting the introduction of the new service.
