Beijer Ref adds click and collect service

UK: Beijer Ref wholesalers in the UK and Ireland have now added a click and collect service for all online orders.

The service is available through all branches of the group’s wholesalers – Dean & Wood, HRP, RW and DWG – all of which remain operational during the current lockdown.

The company says the move will help its trade counters to remain open in the safest possible manner, while improving its service to customers at a time when a consistently reliable service is ever more critical.

Customers merely need to choose the required items online, check the stock is available at the branch of choice and select “click & collect” on the delivery options. If any items aren’t currently in stock, customers can still order them and they will be notified when ready for collection. Products ordered after 16.00 will be available for collection the next working day subject to branch availability.

The click and collect service is only offered Monday to Friday during normal branch opening hours.
