“We Feel We Need To Let You Know About This”
According to announcements to us and online, Unite Union and DHL Aviation will strike from February 9th (from midnight tonight) until Monday 19th February.
DHL may experience some delays with regards to International Shipments (that’s where the Aviation Team sits).
If you have anything urgent to send, please call or email us as soon as possible.
For anything else, we anticipate one or two days delay.
The FR2 battery is currently out of stock worldwide, our recommendation to you is that you place an order and claim your place on a back order list otherwise you will continually be at the back of the queue. We regret this situation which is due to a shortage of components and beyond our control.
Most if not all courier services are experiencing delays at present over which we and our colleagues have no control.
In most cases our parcels within the UK are delivered next day however we do see some parcels held up for an extra 24 hours. There is nothing we can do control this and most of our competitors have reacted to this by rightly cancelling their timed deliveries.
We no longer use Evri for deliveries as they can often takes months to deliver if they don’t actually lose the parcel entirely. It may however persuade you not to entrust your parcels to us with them as we can’t be held responsible for the loss, and neither it seems is Evri !
If you are sending a parcel into us and you would find it easier we can arrange collection at cost and your risk if that makes it easier for you.
Hopefully the situation will get better as the holidays fade away although it doesn’t seem to be entirely the fault of Father Christmas.
New rules to introduce maximum payment periods for public and private sectors should be quickly implemented and properly enforced to shield European businesses from the strain of late payments says Carole Hughes, managing director of debt recovery agency Daniels Silverman.
“The European Parliament’s Late Payment Directive which recently won support from MEPs will introduce new rules for a standard deadline for payment and will encourage companies to honour payments for goods or services in a timely fashion.
“The European Parliament’s Late Payment Directive which recently won support from MEPs will introduce new rules for a standard deadline for payment and will encourage companies to honour payments for goods or services in a timely fashion.
“If properly enforced the new rules will prevent debtors from imposing long payment periods and will help businesses to streamline credit management. They will also support debt collection procedures before late payments have chance to cripple businesses.
“The new rules set down a standard deadline for payment. The basic deadline for both public and private sectors to pay bills for goods or services will now be 30 days unless another date is fixed in the contract. Contracts between private sector businesses can establish deadlines beyond 60 days, if “expressly agreed” and not “grossly unfair”. Public authorities can only extend the deadline to 60 days if “objectively justified”, and can never go beyond 60 days.”

We are here to help, One of the services that helps set as aside from other companies is our willingness to search for products that we don’t normally stock. So if you don’t see it on the web site call us, it doesn’t cost any extra.
There are some limitations, we don’t do drugs and sometimes we are restricted by the manufacturer agreements that are already in place.
This willingness makes us the ideal source if you have a shopping list that needs gathering together and we work with various procurement companies on a regular basis
