To further improve the service in to Hippo Boxes, in conjunction with a major clothing retailer now working with us, 8,000 home delivery agents working for Hermes have been trained on how the Hippo Box works. So if you are ordering from a company using this company, you can do so with confidence. But do ensure you ask the retailer to address your parcel c/o your Hippo Box.

It's not just 'home shoppers' who miss deliveries. We have now supplied King Hippo Boxes to all of East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service 'retained' fire stations so they don't have to send someone down to the stations to recieve deliveries of supplies.

Befoer too long the clocks will be going back, so it's a great time to get items such as garden lights to make your garden look welcoming. ( see www.direct2home.co.uk) You can also get fresh fruit and veg for those warming recipes, our friends at www.abelandcole.co.uk have just up-dated their site to give you even more.

 If you arer a merchant you should note that whilst shopping 'On-line' continues to grow as people appreciate the ease of finding the products they want and being able to compare prices is an ever increasing priority in these trying time.

Yet, all the advantages can be lost, if the delivery turns into a nightmare. Indeed, the IMRG have just released research that shows 68% of shopping baskets are abandoned, just because of worries about delivery. Our 'Hippo' Boxes of course overcome such problems and allow people to shop with confidence.So why not link your site to us? 

Meanwhile, we have noticed an ever increasing number of 'postings' on chat rooms, where people are complaining that their neighbours are never in and expect them to take parcels in for them. So are you annoying the neighbour with this problem|? If so, you know the solution!

Oh, yes and for those of you who bemoan the credit crunch and the fact that , "We don't make anything anymore" - let us remind you 'Hippo' Boxes are built in England.
