Letco Provides Free FedEx Next-Day for Remainder of 2020
Letco Med announced to its US-based customers a free, next-day delivery program for all eligible orders placed through January 1, 2021. Committed to serving the compounding industry, Letco partnered with FedEx to improve our already industry-leading delivery program to proactively address record shipping volumes across the US during the upcoming 2020 holiday season. Letco is offering this next-day delivery program as a free benefit to customers.
Letco worked directly with FedEx to forecast anticipated deliveries to Letco’s customer network for the remainder of 2020, as package volume throughout the United States will surpass any previous period, primarily driven by consumer and business behaviors related to COVID-19. Gabe Peluso, Letco’s Vice President of Operations, said, “Our predictive data modeling and analytics identified the potential for significant service delays, regardless of carrier, based on the exponential increase in small parcel packages expected to be sent via ground and expedited delivery methods.”
Letco’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Greg Lake, stated, “The primary goal in implementing a next-day delivery program is to ensure our independent pharmacy, hospital, government, and chain store customers receive mission-critical medicines with the fastest delivery possible during these challenging times. With escalating customer and patient needs related to COVID-19 and the annual cold and flu season, coupled with significant holiday season volume increases, we wanted to remove any delivery concerns for our customers. Not that we can ever control outside influences, but at Letco, we are doing our very best to set our customers up for success.” Letco expects to send 20,000 packages via next-day delivery as part of this program, further solidifying Letco’s unmatched record of best in class products and services to its valued customers who provide lifesaving medications to patients each and every day.
As the leading innovator in the compounding pharmacy supply industry, Letco Med is the preferred partner to compounding pharmacies, enabling them to take full advantage of compounding as a profit center.
