JERSEY CITY, NJ--(Marketwire - October 26, 2010) - Quidsi Inc. today announced same-day delivery within the city of New York on any Diapers.com or Soap.com order placed by 9:00 am ET, Monday through Friday. Same-day delivery will apply to all orders shipped to Manhattan, allowing customers to get the products they need when they need them, without having to lug heavy bags or make last-minute trips to the store.
Both Diapers.com, which services more than 500,000 moms and dads nationwide, and the newly launched Soap.com, a one-stop online shop for everyday essentials, are dedicated to making shopping for the products people need as simple and painless as possible. The debut of same-day delivery comes on the heels Quidsi's announcement last month that they have reduced the minimum order for free shipping on Soap.com from $49 to $25.
"Customer service is at the core of everything we do, and offering same-day delivery to New Yorkers was a natural extension of our commitment to that philosophy," said Quidsi CEO Marc Lore. "We know that running out of essential products like toothpaste, toilet paper, or diapers can be a huge hassle, which is why we're thrilled to give consumers a quick and easy way to get these products without going to a store. With same-day shipping in Manhattan, we have made online shopping one step closer to completely eliminating the need for physical stores."
Quidsi launched its first site, Diapers.com, in 2005 and has built it into one of the fastest growing e-commerce sites in the world and the largest online baby care retailer in the United States. The site offers more than 30,000 products, including diapers, formula, wipes, toys, strollers and car seats.
In July 2010, Quidsi unveiled Soap.com in one of the biggest launches in retail history. The site stocks more than 25,000 products from more than 900 brands across a wide range of health, beauty, personal care, and household categories, at prices that are often lower than the average drugstore. Soap.com plans to carry more than 40,000 products by the end of 2010.
