Delight.Com Eliminates More Than Three Million Plastic Grocery Bags

Los Angeles, CA - Delight.com is an exciting, new eCommerce experience that puts the joy back in online shopping. Combining the thrill of discovery with the convenience of home delivery, Delight's savvy team of taste-making merchandisers helps cut through the retail clutter by featuring a limited quantity of one distinctive item each day at noon (12pm CT), according to the company.

In a few short months, Delight.com's popularity has exploded online, separating itself from other e-boutiques by fusing together a unique blend of shopping, blogging and socializing. Delight's addictive approach to showcasing new products and designers has attracted a dedicated consumer base of bloggers, celebrities and shoppers who religiously check-in daily to purchase items before they sell out.

"We knew we were on to something when we began featuring items like the popular Envirosax, a stylish, reusable tote bag. We sold more than 200 in two hours and people were buying multiple sets!" says Tracey Tee, co-founder of Delight.com. "We realized that there are many like-minded shoppers out there that want to purchase environmentally responsible products, without sacrificing style."

Delight.com has been a crucial factor in the runaway success of the Envirosax in the United States. Originally developed in Australia, Envirosax is ideal for grocery store trips as well as an everyday carry-all bag. Since late April, Delight.com has armed the world with over 6,000 Envirosax. Given that the average person contributes to the earth's pollution by using over 500 plastic bags a year, Delight.com has effectively eliminated the use of over 3 million plastic bags. Best of all, they've done it with flair.

"Delight.com has set itself apart as a perfect launch pad for new, innovative, stylish products. Since we feature one product a day, it allows our customers to really focus so they can more easily make a buying decision," adds Lynda Keeler, co-founder of Delight.com. "We seem to have struck a chord and have quickly built a community of smart shoppers whose feedback helps guide our choice of products. Be it an eco-friendly bag, a runaway alarm clock from an indie designer or a set of beautiful dishes at a fantastic price, Delight.com is delightfully delivering on its name."

Delight.com is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA and Denver, CO.
