KELOWNA – Vejii Holdings Ltd. has entered into a third party agreement (3PL) with a cold storage service provider in San Diego, California, its third 3PL in the United States.
Vejii will have access to store and ship the full range of frozen, refrigerated and dry products in the San Diego location, and expects to begin shipping from the facility by the end of January.
“I am excited about having our first distribution partner in California, this will not only make it easier for us to onboard local brands, but will improve our overall operational efficiencies by getting products closer to our customers on the west coast, improving freight costs, shipping times, and overall customer satisfaction,” said Darren Gill President & COO of Vejii. “We will now focus on finding a same-day delivery partner to help us service the San Diego area and beyond and will provide more updates on this as we move forward.”
“Customer satisfaction remains our number one priority as a company,” says Vejii CEO Kory Zelickson. “We have listened to our customers, and website data to make this strategic decision. Not only will this improve customer experience, but it will also significantly reduce our carbon footprint which remains a priority to our company.
“The pandemic has changed buying behaviour amongst consumers, this shift is something we are prepared to handle as we scale distribution across the nation.”
