Just Eat, the UK’s biggest delivery network, has marked its official entry into the electronics retail space through an exclusive partnership with premium audio and tech retailer, Richer Sounds.The collaboration unites two trusted brands to bring increased convenience to customers, for the first time making a wide range of electronics available for delivery in 30 minutes or less. This will include ‘emergency’ purchases such as phone chargers/charging cables, headphones and Bluetooth speakers, as well as more ‘as needed’ items from the retailer’s sound and vision range, including projectors, turntables and speakers – all tech needed to make for great movie or music nights in.
Just Eat is Richer Sounds’ first on demand delivery partner, with the service rolling out across 51 stores nationwide, including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol and Nottingham.
Just Eat’s app will offer a curated electronics shopping experience with detailed product listings, real-time availability as well as delivery tracking, creating a seamless user-friendly experience for Richer Sounds’ loyal customers beyond in-store visits.
Claire Pointon, Managing Director at Just Eat, said: “We’re thrilled to be enabling our millions of customers to order electronics with the same ease and efficiency as their favourite restaurant meals. Whether needing a new speaker to blast music for a last minute Christmas party, or in need of an emergency HDMI lead to host a Champions League watch party, our collaboration with Richer Sounds ensures we’re delivering for customers whenever and wherever they need us.
“Whether it’s the weekly shop via Waitrose, emergency beauty supplies from Boots on a Saturday night, or, now, premium audio tech all at the tap of a screen – on demand delivery continues to grow as customers see the benefit, and Just Eat is proud to be leading the charge.”
Nathan Kennaugh, Managing Director of Richer Sounds, said: “We’re so excited to be the very first UK electronics retailer to partner with Just Eat, now delivering home entertainment to our customers so they can enjoy impromptu music and movie nights without the need to leave home. We realise great customer service is sometimes all about speed and convenience, so now if you’re caught without a phone charger or headphones, Richer Sounds and Just Eat can be with customers in a new, fast and flexible way to deliver life’s tech necessities.
“We believe in the importance of the local high street and by partnering with Just Eat, it’s another way our physical stores can give our customers what they need, when they want it – providing total convenience coupled with the award-winning service, unbeatable prices, great advice and after care that they can expect from Richer Sounds.”
The news follows Just Eat’s recent exciting partnership announcements in the UK and globally, including Waitrose, Boots, Cardfactory, Lovehoney and HelloFresh – demonstrating consumer appetite for convenience for a variety of products and moments.
Richer Sounds is currently the Which? ‘Retailer of the Year’ and has won the award for the last 6 consecutive years it has been given.
