Founded in 1934, Cory 1^st Choice Home Delivery began with one truck and the dream of one man – Joseph Cory. While the nation floundered amidst the Great Depression, Joe transformed the common task of a retail delivery into an uncommon experience through consistent service powered by integrity, purpose, passion and a focus on consistent performance. He intuitively knew that the sale did not end in the store. Joe understood that the home delivery was the last impression upon which customer loyalty and recurring business would be built. 

Over our 80 years, Cory has completed millions of sales for many of the top 100 furniture, appliance and electronics retailers. Today, Cory covers 35 states as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We execute over 1.9 million home deliveries annually, manage nine (9) cross docks and warehouses and safely handle over $2.5 billion worth of product while creating long-term relationships between our clients and their customers.

Our leadership team combines industry veterans with a new generation of highly skilled professionals. Together, they are creating a new Cory 1^st Choice Home Delivery for the future. We are committed to enhancing the brands of our clients while continuing to perfect the home delivery experience.  We are doing this by focusing on continuous improvements in service processes, routing and electronic proof-of-delivery technology, and maintaining the highest safety standards. Never satisfied, we are rapidly pushing toward a future of home delivery that is more interactive, efficient and green through the implementation of Lean Six Sigma methodologies throughout our organization.

We understand that today’s retail customer demands a custom experience. Through the combination of retail technology and new, continuous routing optimization, we envision customers selecting a delivery at the place, time and cost of their choosing. Our goal is to build more efficient routes with emphasis on the service experience rather than transport.  Additionally, as we reduce overall miles traveled per stop, we will reduce our carbon footprint, thus minimizing the impact on the environment.

While we are committed to a more efficient future, we believe the fundamental success or failure of a home delivery experience depends on our delivery teams and local leadership. Each morning throughout the nation, in clients’ distribution centers or one of Cory’s full-service warehouses, some 1,300 dedicated home delivery professionals begin their day motivated by a simple mission:

Take care of the customer, and they will come back;
Take care of the product, and it will not come back.

In an industry where success is defined by promises made and kept, only one company has kept its word for over 80 years – CORY, the 1^st Choice in Home Delivery.
