Metro Delivery has DELIVERED ITSELF, SAME DAY!
On Saturday, 4/27/2013, Metro Delivery moved clear across Ann Arbor, from the Southside to the Wild Westside. You probably didn’t even notice, did you?
Because we always come to your place, and you don’t drop around as often as you should…
We bid goodbye to our old address at 4480 Varsity, our home for the last 15 years or so-
Eerily empty, isn’t it?
Yes, we even brought that coffin, left to us by the deadbeat coffin salesman…
And we set up shop in our new GINORMOUS WAREHOUSE at 6241 Jackson!!…
Where we finally have a REAL LOADING DOCK, Hurray!
That’s where you’ll find us from now on- situated just next to the Van Winkle Mattress Warehouse, at 6241 Jackson Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48103
The move across town , although short in milage, was massive in the required coordination of our staff to keep all of our systems online, all of our technology enabled, and ensure uninterrupted terrific service for our thousands of weekly customers while we moved a phenomenal amount of equipment, furniture and assets and made the transition, without a hitch.
Kudos and appreciation to the Metro Team for this very critical and successful same-day delivery!

UMTRI wins Research Award for Connected Vehicles Program
As mentioned in a previous post, Metro Delivery vehicles are being SECRETLY TRACKED by UMTRI in a groundbreaking research project to improve vehicle safety.
For this massive collaborative effort, UMTRI just won the “Deal of the Year” Award from annarbor.com in the Research category. We can’t imagine that it’s easy to win an award for research in Ann Arbor, what with all the research going on. But this study is so huge, and unique, and important that we’re not surprised it took the prize.
Congratulations to our friends at UMTRI! We’re proud to be a part of this amazing study!
