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.

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...

Generators
Generators are used for the generation of electric power. There are basically two types of generators: standby generators and portable generators. Generators ensure that most of the essential appliances can be run whenever there is a power outage. Standby generators provide backup power in homes and offices and are permanently installed outside the house or office building. They are plugged into the electric circuits or home wiring.
Standby generators can automatically detect disruption in the usual electric supply and begin supplying power within a few seconds. Portable generators are usually used in places where there is no supply of power or the need for power is less such as on construction sites camps. These generators are sufficient for lighting and to run appliances like televisions, refrigerators, sump pumps and furnaces.
Generators are available in varying size and output power. The choice of buying the right type of generator depends upon a number of factors...

Gas Generators
A wide variety of fuels are used to power generators. The most common are gasoline, diesel, propane and natural gas. With such a wide array of options, the house owner's choice of fuel and the right type of generator will depend upon factors such as the availability of fuel and the frequency of the use.
Gasoline generators
Gasoline generators are the most familiar type of generator. The fuel is readily available and is relatively inexpensive. The power per weight unit in a gasoline-powered generator is also more than other type of generators.
Gasoline generators are less expensive than generators that use other fuel sources. However their price depends upon the components used. Multi cylinder, water-cooled engines are qualitatively superior and are priced high. These generators, unlike the cheaper, single cylinder, air cooled engines produce less noise and operate with a steady temperature. Some generators come loaded with features like overhead valves,...

Hurricane Warning: Rush for Emergency Generators is Already Underway in 2005
The official start of Hurricane Season is still a month away, but the rush for emergency supplies has already begun. Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online emergency generator superstore, is already experiencing stronger than usual demand for portable and standby generators. According to Jon Hoch, founder of the Romeoville, Ill.-based e-tailer, last year's quartet of Hurricanes severely altered the generator marketplace.Manufacturers built enough inventory to weather Hurricane Charley. But when Hurricane Frances blew ashore, every remaining generator in the country evaporated. Local hardware stores sold out in a matter of hours.
Many desperate homeowners had no choice but to buy overpriced professional-grade generators with features they'd never use. And some customers waited up to four months to receive their backordered generator. "By the time Ivan and Jean hit...
