Implementing a new classroom or centre? We can help.
Implementation Support
Most items, where possible are shipped assembled or partially assembled. What we mean when we say
partially assembled, is that we might ship a bookcase but without any loose shelves -- we don’t want
pieces to be damaged in shipping.
We can also mark boxes for not just a specific location but where in that location the items are intended e.g. sleep area, active play, et cetera. This means a lot less work for your staff laying out and assembling
their room.
Shipping
Louise Kool does not drop ship.
That means we can inspect goods when they arrive in our warehouse and confirm they are ready for your centre. With drop shipping, your final destination could get phone calls from a customs broker looking for information or payment of additional fees. It means we can clear customs and track shipping progress for complete reliability and transparency and no extra work for you.
Delivery When You Need It
You don’t want to get your chairs two weeks after your centre opens. Or a week before your new floor is put in. We warehouse your goods to deliver your order, at a specific time that makes sense for you. So you can set up without waiting for multiple deliveries, from multiple sources. Everything arrives ready to go from Louise Kool when you need it.
