What "Love and Swift Delivery" Means To Us At Heroshe

Have you ever wondered why we conclude our newsletters, social media posts, and blog entries with the phrase, Love and Swift Delivery? It's a question we often receive at Heroshe. In this article, I want you to come behind the scenes to understand how important these words are to us.

Let me take you back to a beautiful February morning somewhere in Lagos. Wunmi, our product marketing team lead, laced up her running shoes, ready to tackle her morning run to the gym. With her favorite music playing in her ears and the excitement of breaking her deadlift record in her mind, she thought: How can we differentiate Heroshe from our competitors?

While jogging, Wunmi had an idea to end our communications with the phrase: Love and Swift Delivery. She even sent a message to the product marketing Slack channel so she wouldn't forget. This phrase wasn't just a catchy slogan but a guiding principle that influences everything we do at Heroshe. So, what does it mean to us? Let me walk you through it.

At Heroshe, Love isn't just a word; it is the foundation of our entire philosophy. It represents our deep commitment to our customers and partners. Here's what Love means to us:

Customer-Centric Approach:
Our number 1 priority is you, our valued customer. Love signifies our unwavering dedication to your satisfaction. We do this by providing you with an exceptional experience, from the moment you create an account to the timely arrival of your packages in Nigeria and Ghana. We view every delivery as an opportunity to show our commitment to your satisfaction and peace of mind. We always try to understand your needs so we can exceed your expectations in every interaction.

Our mission is to bring joy to your doorstep along with your package. We understand that receiving a long-awaited item can excite and delight you. That's why we take extra care to ensure your items are safe and secure until they reach you. Our love for what we do is evident in our attention to detail and commitment to delivering within the promised timeline.

Empathy and Respect:
Love extends beyond our interactions with our customers to how we treat each other as a team. We believe in building a work environment of respect, empathy, and accountability. When you choose Heroshe, you are not just partnering with a shipping company; you are joining a community that values human connection and mutual understanding. As part of this community, you will feel like you belong. It is a community where your needs are always heard, your concerns are addressed, and your success is celebrated.

Fola explains this in more detail in his article to celebrate his first year with Heroshe.

Transparency:
We believe in being honest, truthful, and transparent. In 2022, the United States Customs and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detained our shipments containing high-value luxury goods. Our shipping schedule, which ranges from fourteen to twenty-one days, ballooned into months. We worked round the clock in cooperation with the DHS to ensure the items were released. Throughout this period, we made sure to keep everyone informed. We sent regular updates through email and on our social media pages. We knew this would open us to questions, but we accepted it.

Our customers trust every day to deliver their packages from the U.S. and U.K. to Nigeria and Ghana. Our team members rely on one another to show up and do our best. We take ownership of the entire process to ensure we come through for our customers and team. We don't just do our part and leave the rest to vibes and Insha Allah; we see it through to the end.

Swift Delivery is the other half of our guiding phrase and is equally vital to us. It represents our commitment to efficiency and excellence. Here's what Swift Delivery means to us:

Timeliness:
Swift delivery extends beyond just minimizing your wait time for your items. It is also reflected in how quickly we address your questions and concerns across various communication channels.

We do this because we understand the value of time in today's fast-paced world and to ensure you have a smooth experience with us. Whether you have a query, need assistance, or simply want to track your item, our team is always ready to assist you with speed, enthusiasm, and delight.

Continuous Improvement:
Swift delivery means we are always trying to improve our way of doing things. We're committed to staying at the forefront of our industry to offer the best possible solutions. That is why we have solutions like the Smart Locker, Heroshe Proof of Purchase, Split Pay, and an easy-to-use dashboard.

We are also focused on helping you get quality items from the U.S. and U.K. to Nigeria and Ghana, and we plan to expand to more countries soon. Stay tuned!!!
