Plumber Supply Company garage


Over the years, at MERCURY ERRANDS, we have accomplished a diversity of services, tasks and errands for our clients, such as when we delivered 300 lbs. of dog food to a rural dog breeder, or the time when we picked up and delivered very sensitive lab specimens for an overnite Fed Ex shipment. And it’s always rewarding when we handle vehicle registrations for Montana ‘snowbirds.’

I remember the time when we were hired to deliver needed parts to customers for a supplier of plumbing fittings in the Bozeman area. Even though calls for this service were infrequent and unpredictable, we always tried to handle them as top priority, because, we wanted to honor the timeline of the company’s specific plumbing project.

On occasion, when the manager of the plumbing fittings supplier was on business trips, he would text me early in the morning to see if we could do an express pickup and delivery of parts to a waiting foreman at a client’s job site. With rare exceptions, MERCURY ERRANDS completed those services – in less than two hours. 🙂

My past experience as a plumber’s apprentice especially came in handy for these types of calls, because I have a working knowledge of plumbing parts and their terminology. So,  I was able to keep track of inventory and keep everything organized. Finding and picking up the required plumbing fittings from the storage unit always went quickly, smoothly, and facilitated a speedy delivery.

The reliability factor of MERCURY ERRANDS enabled  our busy client to remotely get the fittings delivered as needed. For him, disruptions in the flow of the plumbing projects at his client’s job sites were minimized or prevented. MERCURY ERRANDS was a perfect fit, you might say, to get the job done for him! 🙂

I’m James. Give me a call at 406-600-9925, I will set your job as a top priority too, if necessary, and if possible.
