Mother’s Day is Coming: Send Mom a Hot Shot
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012
Deliveries go to important people every day. We should know, because we deliver the packages. If we had to pick the most important people we deliver packages to though, we would pick someone who everyone knows and loves:
Mom.
And if you love Mom, then you know that you pretty soon you need to get her something for Mother’s Day.
But Moms can be tough to shop for. Some Moms just want a meal they didn’t prepare and a nap, something you may not be able to provide them with. In that case, the least you can do is get them something nice and send it on time.
Even that can be a Herculean task. There are an estimated 85.4 million Moms in the United States. We’re willing to bet that of that many mothers, there must be more than a few getting packages leading up to Mother’s Day.
And of those more than a few, we’re guessing plenty don’t get delivered on time. Or at all.
We promise you this much: If you decide to deliver with Hot Shot this Mother’s Day, we’ll make sure to keep Mom happy. We pride ourselves on delivering packages on time, intact, and in the last minute if you need it, something that can come in handy when it comes to something as important as showing gratitude to the most important woman in your life.
So this year, you worry about picking out a gift. We’ll worry about making sure she gets it.
Storage Saves Lives: Hot Shot Disaster Delivery
Friday, March 16th, 2012
Couriers take their jobs seriously. We know that delivering your package on time can have a broad range of positive effects, from keeping your grandmother happy to assisting people facing incredible hardship. Last month, we spoke a little about the importance of on-time medical supply delivery. But delivery service is also an essential way to assist others during natural disasters, such as the tornadoes that took lives and leveled homes in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio earlier this year.
When storms and other destructive weather-related events strike, shipment becomes a top priority. Shipping organizations are invaluable because they are capable of coordinating the movement of necessary supplies like food, water, medicine and shelter to victims of these devastating events.
Storage can be of great assistance, too. Hot Shot Delivery helps one particular client store Mobile Communication Towers that are deployed via weather balloons. These devices are useful in situations where towers are absent or have been rendered useless by a natural or man-made disaster such as forest fires and terrorist attacks. Their mobile communication towers are stored in our warehouse, as well as strategically throughout our logistics network where they can be mobilized instantly when a situation arises. Getting these devices to the scene of an emergency in the quickest, most efficient way is what Hot Shot Delivery lives for.
In preparation for hurricane season, Hot Shot has the capacity to store emergency relief supplies and generators in trailers around the city giving rescue/relief workers almost immediate access to supplies if a storm should make landfall in our area.
Disasters are tragedies. Delivery and storage logistics are some of the best ways to help prepare for uncertainty when emergencies strike. As shipping and delivery methods become more advanced, so too will the disaster response methods that save lives, rebuild countries, and make the world a better place. Hot Shot aims to continue to be part of the solution.
Don’t be LATE
Monday, February 13th, 2012
It’s February again, and if you haven’t noticed, the air is heavy with love (or is that humidity?) and the card aisles at your local convenience store are full of red, heart-shaped boxes. Stuffed animals and balloons overrun the front part of the store. Everyone’s got a sweet tooth.
And the romantic poetry is starting to get a little annoying if you ask me.
Even so, Hot Shot is here to help you keep your honey happy, even if it means racing across town with candy and bracelets. Remember: The only thing worse than forgetting to send something for Valentine’s Day is sending melted chocolates, flattened cupcakes and mangled jewelry.
Sadly, not every delivery service takes as much care as we do. YouTube is packed to the brim with videos of delivery men playing football, hockey, and some yet to be discovered action sports with fragile packages (at Hotshot, we call those “horror movies”). As for timeliness… let’s just say there are some deliveries from the 1980s that have yet to be received.
To be fair, some YouTube deliveries are also above and beyond the call of Valentine’s Day sweetness, featuring bears delivering chocolate and candy to hardworking librarians, like these guys:
Anyway, it doesn’t take Cupid to know that Valentine’s Day is a can’t-miss delivery holiday, when the difference between sending and missing your delivery is the difference between a lovely evening with your darling and a night on the couch… or the front stoop.
And if you made the incredible, jaw-dropping mistake of failing to prepare in advance for the holiday- shame on you, by the way- keep in mind that Hot Shot does same-day delivery, so we can get your package to its destination in less than two hours.
In other words, we can save Valentine’s Day, and you can spend the day writing love notes instead of an apology letter.
But why wait for it to get that close? Schedule your delivery now and put your mind at ease. We don’t miss and we’re not late, so with your confirmation in hand (or email box), all you have to do is find a decent restaurant that won’t cost you a million bucks for a table on February 14th.
