Slatwall, Gridwall & Today's Retail Store Fixtures

In the first part of our series on planning your store fixtures purchase we outlined the importance of determining your budget as well as researching your options. Below are the next two steps in planning for a smooth store fixtures purchase.

4. Plan Your Delivery

Most shipments will require that someone is available to inspect and receive the shipment. To reduce costs, a commercial address that is open between 9am-5pm is always recommended. Make sure you have adequate storage space at your destination, as store fixtures are often bulky and should be kept away from high traffic areas to avoid damage. Request tracking information so that you can know in advance when your shipment may be delivered. Most freight carriers will make only one attempt to deliver, so track your shipment to make sure you are at the delivery location, and have extra help to unload when your shipment arrives.
