“Drop Box” Parts Delivery
 ✖  |
Apple Farm Service customers don’t have to drive to one of their 4 stores to get parts. They can stop by a local drop box and pick up needed parts. That’s important when the equipment company’s stores are as much as 100 miles apart. They stock 80,000 parts from more than 120 different manufacturers.
“We have 11 drop boxes spread out around our territory at cooperating businesses and hope to add a few more,” says Kent Holmes, Apple Farm Service, Covington, Ohio. “Our customers really appreciate not having to make longer drives.”
The drop boxes save time and mileage for customers. To use them, a customer has to have an account with the company or provide a credit card number when ordering parts. Parts are delivered to the closest drop box to the customer, often as an employee heads home for the day.
“We haven’t had any problem with theft,” says Holmes. “If we did, we could install locks, but you can’t find more honest customers than farmers.”
