Old school Appliances meets online distribution

For many years my wife and I have had several appliances that we have owned like refrigerators, washers, dryers and dishwashers. It is nice to have your own appliances, but if they break you have to fix them or pay someone to fix them. A few years back the appliance part place was only about 10 minutes away. Then when overhead started costing more for parts distribution warehousing, the appliance part distributor consolidated to one central area warehouse about 37 miles away.

Now that technology and ecommerce have matured, when the motor on my Frigidaire dryer went out, I called the Frigidaire Parts warehouse, while on hold the Frigidaire company suggest you might try their website. Hung up I am there, it was very nice with new school online ordering, catchy name ApplianceHelp.com, just put in the serial number or model number and their database finds the part for you. This online ordering distribution saved me allot of time and fuel by having the part delivered to my doorstep. I may never need to go to the parts warehouse again. The next time I need parts for my dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, stove, washer or any of my other appliances they are just a few clicks away. We are all reaping the benefits of online distribution technology.
