Sealco cuts costs on next day deliveries
»»Independent
hardware distributor Sealco
has reduced its minimum
online order for FREE next day
delivery anywhere in mainland
UK to just £50.
“We know customers want
products at the right price and
quickly,” says Alan Malcolm,
Sales Director for Sealco
Scotland. “And online ordering
gives them the flexibility they
need. Often it is last minute
purchases that come through
the website rather than bulk
orders, because something’s
needed fast. When this happens
postage and packing can eat
into the margins for installers,
fabricators and joiners, so
that’s why we’ve reduced the
minimum order for free next
day delivery to just £50.
“Online ordering from www.
sealco-scotland.co.uk gives
customers a quick and easy
way to get window and door
hardware, locks and accessories
from the major manufacturers,
including AGB, Hoppe, Maco,
PC Henderson, Trojan and
Yale. Sealco has also launched
a new Essentials range of
consumables at everyday low
prices.
“Extending the online service
means anyone can tap into the
high stock levels and expertise
at Sealco and they’ll get free
delivery on all orders over
£50.”

The worrying message of Christmas…
»»People are prepared to spend
on Christmas, but astonishingly, many just
don’t bother to invest in better security,
according to a recent survey.
Research from Everest Home
Improvements highlighted that one in
10 UK households spent more than £500
on presents at Christmas - but they are
not preparing their homes for potential
burglaries during this infamous period.
Prior to Christmas, Everest found that
40 per cent of Brits would spend up to
£500 on the latest electronic gadgets,
computers, jewellery and must-have
accessories - but over 30 per cent will
not even double check that their doors
and windows are secure over the festive
season, despite being the most likely
access points for break-ins.
As people started to wrap their
Christmas presents in earnest, one in six
(13 per cent) admitted that they would not
do anything to secure their home, while
71 per cent will not even leave a hallway
light on.
More than half of Brits surveyed have
gone out locally and even forgotten to
close and lock their windows and door
