If there’s one place to shop for the widest selection of products and great deals it has to be Amazon. But, if you’re anything like us, you may be surprised to learn that you’re actually just scraping the service of what the website can really offer you. We’re talking about those heavy-duty garden items from BBQs all the way up to sheds. But if you were imagining that these will be delivered to your doorstep, leaving you the stress of flat-pack (where do all those Allen keys even go?!) then you’ll be delighted to here that Amazon offers services to make the setup process as easy as can be. So let’s explore just what the online megastore can do for you this summer…
The A-Z of summer essentials
Whether you’ve just taken your parasol out of the shed for the first time this year to discover it’s broken, are looking to upgrade your grill to one with all the mod-cons of the moment or are furnishing a brand new outdoor space, make Amazon your first port of call for the best array of garden items – no matter the size or weight. While typically we may associate the brand with light, easily posted items, Amazon is just as well versed in dealing with heavy and bulky items.
That’s right - from large BBQs to even larger sheds, Amazon has a range of stylish and practical options across a diverse range of prices, so you can find what your garden’s missing, without having to rebudget. In fact, many of the items are also available at offline outlets, so you can take the time to check them out in person before heading back online to make sure you get the best deal around.
One of the most exciting things, however, is that Amazon is providing a truly end-to-end solution for your outdoor buys because, unlike most in-person stores, you’ll have the item delivered and installed for you in a convenient and hassle-free way.
Sit back and watch the set-up
When Amazon say end-to-end solutions, they really mean it. On most of the garden and outdoor product ranges, in addition to delivering within a scheduled slot to the room or area of your choice, Amazon offers services including installation, de-installation of old products (perfect if you’re upgrading), setup, plus haul away or recycling of old garden furniture. This means your space will be clear after delivery with no more piles of boxed waiting for your next trip to the recycling centre, and instead you can enjoy your new items straight away and relax in your new and improved garden.
These services are simple to sort out. All the options are visible on the product detail page, so you just select these, add to basket alongside the product and check out as normal, selecting your delivery slot in the process. You’ll see these services are priced very competitively, so what you’re adding on should be great value compared to other traditional install solutions. And it won’t be just anyone delivering, either, as Amazon ensures they send vetted, trained and background checked staff to perform these services.
