“London Drugs and Fastfrate have been business partners since 1985, a true partnership that has maintained its customer service at the highest levels. London Drugs believes, in its people to run the business coupled with putting the customer first, “Think like a customer” is our message to our employees. At Fastfrate their customers are at the forefront of everything they do. This was more obvious during the floods of 2021 in late November when companies like London Drugs were in a place that no one had seen before. Fastfrate called us to see how they could help and assist during this unusual time. We are very grateful for the call, especially since we were in a place where we were not sure what to do. They offered some ideas and great solutions to our inbound and outbound issues, and as a result, we now are prepared for our next weather-related concern. Customer service seems lost these days in our ever-changing world, but thankfully Fastfrate still thinks it is important and explains why our partnership remains at a high level.”
— Peter Harper, Manager, Receiving/Stocking and Space, London Drugs
“London Drugs has been in a partnership with CFF (Consolidated FastFrate) for over 40 yrs. In 2013 we approached CFF to be a part of our “No Appointment” priority Service (NAPS) where we could save 2-3 days of waiting for appointments into our facility and during peak seasons up to 7 days. We send our London Drugs receivers down to the CFF facility to receive merchandise on their docks as it arrives from different parts of North America and then it is delivered to us without an appointment. This NAPS service is a win-win for all parties, Vendors/CFF and of course London Drugs customers as we have seen an immediate improvement with inventory at our retail stores which provides that ultimate shopping experience for our customer.”
— Peter Harper, Manager, Receiving/Stocking and Space, London Drugs
