We take extra care to minimise waste

We consider what impact our packaging has on the environment - we don't just add extra layers of cardboard and hope for the best.

‘Fantastic quality mirror at a brilliant price. It looks fantastic in my hallway - a real show piece! Can I also point out how well it was delivered. Not a mark, scratch, dent or crack on it. It was delivered by the courier, Fragilistics. Keep them, Dunelm, they certainly know how to deliver fragile items. The guy who delivered it would not let go of the parcel until he'd left safely put it down inside the house. Wish other couriers would be as meticulous.’

WHY IT PAYS TO TAKE EXTRA CARE

With
FRAGILISTICS

  • Average returns rate under 3%.
  • Every box in our vans is a fragile item,so it's given the care and respect it deserves.
  • We know how to package fragile items in the most effective and environmentally friendly way possible.
  • We take a drop shipping approach - where we hold the stock in our warehouse for customers. This means items travel fewer miles, with less emissions and get to customers quicker.
  • Damaged items that are returned to us are repaired and resold if possible. Where they're good enough for use but not for retail, we donate them to worthy causes.

With
OTHER DELIVERY SERVICES

  • The average returns rate is up to 30%.
  • Drivers can struggle to recognise (or avoid stepping on) fragile items in amongst all the other boxes they're carrying.
  • Fragile items are often wrapped in layers of unnecessary cardboard – simply increasing the cost to the environment.
  • Most trunk items to a main transfer hub in the Midlands, and then trunk them out to a delivering hub. From there items finally go out to customers. This means fragile items travel further, clock up more emissions and are handled by more people, increasing the risk of damage.
  • Damaged items often end up in landfill.
