Avis de déménagement d’entrepôt Shopper+ Montréal

Il y a 5 ans, lorsque nous avons emménagé dans notre entrepôt actuel, nous n’avions aucune idée qu’un jour nous pourrions le remplir complètement de nos produits. Avec notre croissance rapide durant les dernières années, nous avons considérablement développé; notre premier site Web est devenu trois sites Web Canadiens renommés, avec l’ajout de plusieurs marques maison et de nouveaux canaux de distribution. Aujourd’hui, nos marques existent presque partout, y compris Best Buy, Amazon, La Source et Walmart, avec plus de 30 000 produits différents en magasin pour tous les Canadiens.

PrimeCables Warehouse

Au cours des dernières années, nous avons suivi de près la vision de notre entreprise en proposant continuellement des solutions efficaces et des expériences d’achat remarquables à tous les foyers et toutes les entreprises. Nous atteignons maintenant les limites où notre entrepôt ne peut plus fournir suffisamment d’espace. Nous avons donc pris la décision difficile d’acquérir un entrepôt beaucoup plus grand qui répondra à nos nouveaux besoins en matière d’expédition. Nous sommes également heureux de vous informer que notre nouvel emplacement amélioré nous aidera véritablement à tenir notre promesse d’offrir des produits haut de gamme encore meilleurs tout en maintenant des normes d’expédition élevées.

Le nouvel entrepôt principal sera situé au 400 rue Marie Curie, Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC, J7V 5V5, qui est 5 fois la taille de notre entrepôt actuel à Montréal. Notre calendrier pour déménager et rénover notre nouvel emplacement commencera à partir du 6 décembre jusqu’à la fin décembre. Pendant ce temps, nous allons temporairement cesser d’offrir le ramassage local à notre entrepôt afin de nous concentrer sur les rénovations qui amélioreront nos services. Notre service de ramassage local rouvrira le 17 décembre 2018. Nous vous invitons à venir nous rendre visite!

Enfin, nous souhaitons profiter de ce moment privilégié pour exprimer notre gratitude à tous nos clients, familles et amis. nous tenons à vous remercier du fond du cœur pour votre soutien tout au long de ces années. L’expansion de notre entrepôt nous apportera en effet de nombreux changements positifs dans notre expérience de service. Cela signifie que nous pouvons traiter beaucoup plus de commandes, de plus gros articles et une expédition super rapide pour nos clients extraordinaires.

Cordialement,

Notice of Shopper+ Montreal Warehouse Relocation

Looking back to 5 years ago when we first moved to our present warehouse, we did not even think that one day we would be able to fill it completely full of our products. With the rapid growth in the past years, we have drastically expanded; our first website grew into three major Canadian renown websites, with the addition of multiple home brands and new channels. Today, our brands exist nearly everywhere including Amazon, eBay, Costco, Walmart, Best Buy and Staples with up to 30,000+ different products in our store for all Canadians.

During the past years, we have been following our company vision closely by constantly offering effective solutions and remarkable shopping experiences to all homes and businesses. Now, we are reaching the limits where our warehouse can’t provide enough space anymore, hence we have made the tough decision of acquiring a much larger warehouse location that will fulfill our new shipping needs. We are glad to also inform you that our new and improved location will help us truly fulfill our promise of offering even better, premium products while upkeeping great shipping standards.

The new head warehouse will be located at Vaudreuil-Dorion area at Quebec, which is 5X bigger in term of storage capacity than our current Montreal warehouse. Our schedule to move and renovate to our new location will start from December 6th until the end of December. During this time, we will temporarily stop offering local pickup as to focus on the renovations which will improve our services. Our local pickup service will reopen December 17th, 2018, at which point we welcome you to come and visit us again!

Lastly, we want to use this special moment to express our gratitude to all our customers, families and friends; we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support throughout all these years. Our warehouse expansion will indeed bring us lots of positive changes to our service experience, it means we can handle a lot more orders, bigger items and faster, rocket speed shipping for our amazing customers.

Sincerely,

Message important au sujet de nos nouveaux changements de domaines: 123Encre.ca, PrimeCables.ca et Living.ca

Cher(e) client(e),

Comme vous l’avez sûrement remarqué le 5 décembre 2017, une version améliorée de nos sites Web sera lancée. Nous sommes impatients de vous présenter notre nouveau site Web: Living.ca. Entre-temps, trois de nos sites Web précédents, PhotoGear.com, PhoneGala.com et LightingBox.com, deviendront hors ligne. Afin de mieux servir nos clients, nous avons décidé de renommer note site 123CartouchedEncre.ca pour 123Encre.ca et PrimeCables.com pour PrimeCables.ca; ces changements dont nous sommes fiers visent à mieux nous définir en tant qu’entreprise canadienne.

Suite à ces changements, la famille Shopper+ contiendra désormais trois sites Web: 123Encre.ca, PrimeCables.ca et Living.ca. Ne vous inquiétez pas, toutes les lignes de produits et services que nous offrons resteront les mêmes. Nos clients pourront toujours faire leurs achats sur les trois sites Web, en ajoutant différents produits dans le panier, qui seront tous gérés par notre plateforme de caisse qui combine les trois sites; les produits resteront dans la même commande.

Le concept de la famille Shopper+ est assez simple. Premièrement, en étant une entreprise locale située à Montréal, nous sommes dévoués à servir les Canadiens en leur offrant un meilleur service. Notre valeur «Client d’abord» est l’une des valeurs les plus importantes auxquelles nous croyons. Pour satisfaire les besoins de nos clients, nous offrons à notre clientèle des produits de qualité supérieure au meilleur prix possible. En même temps, nous avons amélioré à la fois notre service à la clientèle et notre efficacité de livraison en offrant des services solides et fiables où les clients peuvent profiter d’une meilleure expérience d’achat.

Deuxièmement, en étant une entreprise de vente au détail en ligne, nous travaillons très fort pour éliminer les intermédiaires qui sont présent dans l’industrie de vente au détail traditionnelle. Nous le faisons en offrant à nos clients la meilleure qualité possible et, par conséquent, choisissons de travailler uniquement avec des usines qui mènent dans l’industrie. L’avantage de supprimer l’intermédiaire inutile signifie que nous avons plus de flexibilité pour réduire le prix tout en maintenant une communication plus étroite avec le fournisseur. C’est pourquoi nous pouvons réagir rapidement chaque fois qu’il y a des innovations de produits; leur fonctionnalité ou leur apparence changent en fonction des critiques et commentaires fournis par les clients.

Au cours des dernières années, nous avons créé deux marques majeures, PrimeCables et Moustache, en plus de nos marques SortWise, CleanWise, GreenWise et Phat, grâce auxquelles nous avons fourni des milliers de produits à nos clients avec des solutions plus rentables pour satisfaire leurs besoins. Après avoir beaucoup appris à travers toute l’expérience acquise de ces marques, nous sommes maintenant plus capables et habiles pour offrir à nos clients plus de sélections. Pour que notre site soit plus simple, nous avons décidé de combiner certains de nos anciens sites Web et de les améliorer dans Living.ca.

Le slogan de Living.ca signifie «Épargnez du temps, vivez mieux». Nous avons d’abord pensé à «épargnez de l’argent», mais nous l’avons changé car il y a beaucoup de magasins qui réclame économiser de l’argent pour leurs clients, ce qui amène les clients à passer beaucoup plus de temps en moyenne (surtout dans les magasins traditionnels où on peut facilement passer des heures à magasiner pour un besoin). Nous croyons que épargner du temps = épargner de l’argent et ainsi, nous voulons briser la fausse idée commune d’économiser de l’argent, ce qui signifie vraiment et tout simplement d’épargner du temps.

L’idée d’aider les clients à épargner du temps est simple. Une fois qu’un client visite notre site, il n’aura plus à se soucier de comparer les prix sur différents sites car nous vous offrirons le prix le plus bas du marché. De plus, notre site Web vous offre les essentiels les plus basiques et quotidiens dont vous aurez besoin dans votre routine quotidienne. Avec tout le temps que vous économiserez, vous pourrez passer tout votre temps à faire des choses beaucoup plus importantes; accompagner vos enfants, votre famille, faire des exercices en plein air ou même voyager. Nous croyons que le meilleur avantage de notre service de vente au détail n’est pas seulement d’aider les clients à économiser de l’argent, mais aussi d’aider nos clients à économiser plus de temps.

Même si Living.ca est encore loin d’être parfait, qu’il s’agisse de la fonctionnalité du site Web ou des variétés de produits, c’est notre nouvelle création; nous allons donc le faire fonctionner en tant que site BETA pendant un certain temps pour nous assurer qu’il est convivial et sans erreur. Nous vous accueillerons toujours à bras ouverts si vous avez des inquiétudes ou des questions concernant nos sites Web, n’hésitez pas à contacter notre service clientèle au lien https://support.shopperplus.com/fr/support/home.

Nous croyons fermement que, dans un proche avenir, vous aimerez Living.ca autant que vous aimez Costco et Dollarama. Nous tenons à vous remercier pour tout le soutien et les critiques qui nous aideront à améliorer et, bien sûr, nous vous remercions également pour votre temps et votre considération d’être avec nous.

Sincèrement,

Important Message to Customers About Our New Domains Launch: 123ink.ca, PrimeCables.ca & Living.ca

Dear customers,

As you have noticed, on December 5^th, 2017, an upgraded version of our websites will be launched. We are eager to introduce you our new website: Living.ca. Meanwhile, three of our previous websites, PhotoGear.com, PhoneGala.com as well as LightingBox.com, will become offline. To better serve our customers, we have decided to rename 123InkCartridges.ca as 123Ink.ca and PrimeCables.com as PrimeCables.ca; these are proudful changes which are meant to define us better as a Canadian company.

Resulting from these changes, the Shopper+ Family will now contain three websites: 123Ink.ca, PrimeCables.ca and Living.ca. Do not worry, all the product lines and services that we offer will remain absolutely the same. Our customers will still be able to shop across all three websites, adding different products in the cart which will all be handled by our single checkout platform; these items will remain in the same order.

The concept of Shopper+ Family is pretty simple. Firstly, by being a local company situated in Montreal, we are dedicated to serve Canadians by providing a better service. Our “Customer First” core value is one of the most important values that we believe in. To satisfy our customers’ needs, we offer our clientele higher quality product at the lowest price possible. At the same time, we’ve improved both our customer service and delivery efficiency by offering solid and reliable services where customers can enjoy a better shopping experience.

Secondly, by being an e-commerce retail company, we work hard to eliminate the middleman from the traditional retail industry. We do so by offering our customers the highest quality possible and therefore choose to only work with factories that lead in the industry. The benefit of removing the unnecessary middleman means we have more flexibility on cutting down the price while still maintaining a closer communication with the supplier. That is why we can react rapidly whenever there are product innovations; their functionality or appearance change based on the reviews and feedbacks that are provided by customers.

Over the past few years, we have created two major brands: PrimeCables & Moustache, in addition to our brands SortWise, CleanWise, GreenWise and Phat, through which we’ve successfully provided thousands of products to our customers with better cost-effective solutions to satisfy their needs.

After learning much through all the branding experience, we are now more capable and skilled to offer our customers more selections. For our site to look simpler, we decided combine a few of our older websites and improve them into Living.ca.

The slogan for Living.ca means “Save time, live better”. We initially thought of “save money” instead, however we changed it since there are plenty of existing stores claiming to save money for their customers, which leads customers to spend a lot more time on average comparing prices (especially in traditional stores, where one can easily spend hours to shop for something they want). We believe that saving time = save money and thus, we want to break the common misconception of saving money, which truly and simply means to save your time.

The idea of helping customers to save time is simple; once a customer visits our website, they will no longer have the hassle of comparing prices across different websites as we will offer you the lowest price on the market. Additionally, our website offers the most basic and daily essentials you will require in your daily routine. With all the time you’ll save, you will be able to spend all your saved time doing much more important things; accompany your children, your family, doing outdoor workouts or even travelling. We believe our best retail service advantage is not just about helping customers to save money, moreover, to help our customers to save more time.

Even though Living.ca is still far from being perfect, whether it’s the website functionality or product varieties, it’s our newest creation; we will therefore run it as a BETA site for a period of time to make sure that it’s userfriendly and error free. We will always welcome you with open arms if you have any concern or questions regard to our websites, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support at https://support.shopperplus.com/en/support/home.

We have a strong belief that, in a near future, you will love Living.ca as much as how you love Costco & Dollarama. We wish to thank you for all the support and critiques that will help us to improve and, of course, we also thank you for your time and consideration for being with us.

Sincerely,

Do Sit / Stand Desks actually work? Let PrimeCables tell!

Before starting my article, I would like to show you some statistics that you might have not aware before, and some of the facts will directly impact to your health & work efficiency.

Average people spend 65% of time sitting over the past few years
Spend more than 10 hours work in a chair might increase the risks of disease
Research has shown that long hours sitting might have direct association to risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

The statistics are cleared about the facts how “over- sitting” might impact to our health as well as productivity, this is perhaps the reason why ergonomic environment concept has become such a trendy term where company are crazy about flexible break time or tools which allow employees to work in comfortably, but on the top that that, it is always recommendable that you still need to stand up more, “sit less and stand more” are the keys- quoted from health experts.

Due to the comfort workplace concept, many companies have realized how beneficial and ideal to allow employee to stand up while working, products like sit stand desk or uplift desk has become popular over the internet, with different prices, brands, and tag lines, it’s actually very confusing for customers to pick their right one, so how to choose the sit & standing desk that might work for you?

Wait a minute! So do the sit / stand desk actually work? According to the measure conducted by different researches across the world, it has clearly shown that too much sitting is bad for your muscle, in additional, standing actually help you to burn much more calories. If average adult burns extra 20 calories per day, then a week will be in a total of 100 calories, which can accumulate into an impressive number, and this is only for the people who stand only for 4 hours a day, so how to pick a nice sit / stand desk, you can always start with the following points:

Price, price, price! You don’t need expensive gear to be healthy
How much adjustment you can make from height & wide range for your desk
Do the design avoids any dangers of clamping injury?
Is that fast, quiet or portable?
Does it support VESA, tilt, swivel, and rotation?
Max weight support? Does the company cover the warranty?

By following this list, you should have a better idea about how to choose a standing desk.

Primecables sit stand desk — PrimeCables sit stand desk

The idea behind to reduce the time of sitting, is due to 1) to improve blood circulation and 2) to get muscle working, the perfect way to maintain a healthy balance, is by swapping both sitting and stand, and this is where the concept of sit stand desks kick in, spend some time not just by simply standing up, but to relax yourself by taking some exercise, by doing this repetitively, you will start to see the result of better sleep quality, moreover, you will start to feel the positive changes of your health, with a healthy mindset both physically and mentally, your overall productivity will be expected to improve!

5 tips for keeping your office organized

Keep only frequently used items at your desk
if there are any tools on your desk you’re not using everyday, but them away in your drawers. The less cluttered your desk is, the fewer distractions you will have.

Create a storage strategy
When you’re creating this storage strategy, ask yourself what will you be filing? And how often do you need to access these filed documents. Create a hierarchy for your files. For document you are currently working with, store them in an easily accessible drawer. Once you’re done with the document or file, lock it away where you will have it on record, but won’t have to worry about accessing it at any moment.

De-clutter as much as often as possible
If you find yourself with some down time towards the end of the week, instead of scrolling through your Facebook timeline for the billionth time, take some time to purge the junk around your office. This can be old post-it notes that have no relevance, or old files you can shred. Just double check you won’t need the items before you go ahead and chuck them

Recycle and reduce paper usage
Recycling is a great way to get rid of useless paper, in the most environmentally friendly way. Consider using digital storage systems, like dropbox.

Start fresh each day
Do a quick clean up at the end of the day, getting rid of any junk that may be lying around. When you arrive at the office the following day, you won’t feel cluttered or stressed out and can start your day off on the right foot!
