Electric Generators Direct.com Introduces 'Same-Day Shipment'
Romeoville, IL (ContentDesk) Nov. 28, 2005 - Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com) today introduced "Same-Day Shipment a new service for customers who absolutely must have their generators shipped the same business day. According to Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct, customers now have two choices in ordering a generator: (1) Factory Direct or (2) Same-Day Shipment. Factory Direct In 2002, Electric Generators Direct.com debuted as an online generator superstore with factory-direct prices. Customers ordered from a large selection of generators that shipped directly from the manufacturers factory to their door.
The factory-direct concept eliminated the need for warehouses and retail stores. As a result, the company passed the saving onto the customer as direct discounts. Factory direct is ideal for customers who have the luxury of waiting for their generators, said Hoch. Unfortunately, it has two drawbacks product availability and speed. It only takes a single natural disaster like a hurricane or ice storm - to wipe out a manufacturers entire inventory. Generator manufacturers ran out of inventory in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
If youre lucky enough to order an in-stock generator, it could take days for the manufacturer to manage through the backlog and finally get your generator out the door. Same-Day Shipment During a disaster, customers simply cannot afford to wait for their generator, and theyre willing to pay a premium to get their order on the road as quickly as possible. Electric Generators Direct is launching Same-Day Shipment to accommodate customers on a tight deadline. For a small service charge, Electric Generators Direct will guarantee that in-stock generators will ship the same day if ordered before Noon CST Monday thru Friday. Weekend and afternoon orders will be shipped the next business day.
Hoch equates Same-Day Shipment as a speed pass to the front of the line. Its just like waiting in line for a roller coaster. You can wait your turn or pay a little extra to get on board immediately. The service charge varies depending on the size of the generator: " Less than 3,000 Watts: $50.00 " 3,000 5,999 Watts: $75.00 " 6,000 9,999 Watts: $100.00 " 10,000 Watts and More: $150.00 Why the extra charge? Electric Generators Direct modified its business model to accommodate the new service. The company is now stocking a limited supply of its best selling generators in its new 3,000-square foot warehouse. Weve basically grown from a virtual store to a virtual store with a very small warehouse, said Hoch.
"The service charge covers our expense to warehouse, fullfill and ship these orders." Not Next Day Service All Same-Day Shipment orders will be shipped immediately from Electric Generators Directs limited inventory via semi trucks. Generators cannot be shipped in an airplane because they contain small traces of gasoline. According to Hoch, Same-Day Shipment significantly speeds up delivery times. Under the Factory Direct model, customers can typically expect delivery within 10-14 business days (if the model is in-stock). With Same-Day Shipment service, customers can receive their generator as quickly as 2-3 business days.
By shaving a few days off the delivery time, 'Same-Day Shipment' orders can often arrive before the next Category 5 Hurricane makes landfall, said Hoch. Electric Generators Direct will provide customers with a tracking number so they can track the status of their order in real time. Roads may be closed or inaccessible during a disaster. Therefore, the company cannot guarantee an exact delivery date for each order. Electric Generators Direct will continue to offer the Factory Direct service.
Customers who are willing to wait through backorders will continue to receive factory-direct discounts.

MAJOR GENERATOR SHORTAGE: Electric Generators Direct.com Now Taking Backorders on All Portable Generators
The effects of Hurricane Charley and Frances are being felt far beyond Florida. The tag team tandem just put the entire portable generator marketplace on backorder. In Ohio, Tony Holder tried to purchase a generator at his local home improvement store, only to find the shelves empty with the entire inventory on a truck headed south. In Florida, new generators are as scarce as snowballs, with the demand overshadowing the supply. Customers are forced to wait in long lines with lottery numbers, hoping for a "chance" to get one of the few arriving generators.
Many customers, who were simply unable or unwilling to wait, jumped online to purchase generators directly from the manufactures. Even this supply evaporated.
Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online generator superstore that dropships directly from the manufacturer's warehouses, is completely sold out. The...

Advantages of portable oxygen generators
Improvements in technology now allow the creation of portable oxygen generators, which are highly useful for people who need supplemental oxygen for breathing, and for other applications like food sterilization, aquarium installations, oxygen therapy, oxygen bars, and many more.
The portable oxygen generators can be installed anywhere, and they can simply be used to raise the oxygen level in the environment and clear the polluted air in the rooms. Processes inside the body consume high amounts of oxygen, and scientists discovered that in the ancient times the levels of oxygen in the atmosphere Were twice as high as they are now. So, having a simple to use, portable oxygen generator to raise the levels of oxygen can help you work and feel better.

Oxygen generators safety
Since a major airplane crash took place, with over one hundred victims, people have been questioning the safety of the emergency oxygen generators aboard. These oxygen generators are placed in airplanes because in case there's a pressure drop the passengers must breathe through special masks connected to the oxygen generator.
After the crash happened, some blamed the oxygen generators as a possible cause of the explosion and of the fire, but experts sustain that oxygen generators and canisters that are aboard the airplanes are harmless if they are handled correctly, and that it is very unlikely that oxygen generators caused the explosion, but not impossible.
It is known that once a fire is started, it need oxygen to continue burning, so the only real harm that oxygen generators can do is to fuel an already started, burning fire.
Anyway, the Federal Aviation Administration keeps a close watch on any plane that is transporting oxygen...
