Worcester, Mass., —August 24, 2004—bulbs.com, considered among the fastest growing lighting distributors in the United States, announced its new 2-Day Quick Ship service enabling customers who order from a selection of top moving commercial bulbs to receive their order within two days. This new service applies to orders shipped to a destination within the contiguous 48 United States.

The news comes on the heels of the bulbs.com opening of a third distribution center in Fresno, California in July. "Our goal for this initiative is twofold," says Wendy Rose, bulbs.com Vice President of Operations and Administration. "First and foremost, we shorten delivery time by up to 60% for our west coast clients allowing them to carry a smaller inventory of replacement lighting in their stock rooms. Second, with over 3,500 products in our database, the identification and purchase process can be daunting for some of our commercial clients. By selecting our most popular items for 2-Day Quick Ship service and clearly branding the items on our website, first time visitors to the site will find it easier to identify and purchase the bulb they need." The 2-Day Quick Ship items are clearly identified on the bulbs.com website with an image showing an orange delivery truck bearing the 2-Day Quick Ship message.

"This is the continuation of an exciting new chapter for us," said bulbs.com CEO, Steve Rothschild. "While we have logged annual revenue growth of 40% and continue to add as many as 700 new commercial customers per month, our ability to provide two-day ground delivery anywhere in the United States reinforces our position as a national player in the replacement lighting arena. Combined with our ability to simplify the identification of the customer’s bulb and ease of order entry, the continuous improvement of our logistics capabilities will be particularly useful to commercial customers who operate facilities across the country because they’ll be able to rely on delivery within two days."
