COVID-19 Updates & Current Information Regarding Deliveries - JAN 2022
*SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES*
COVID 19 and the Effects on Deliveries
With a significant number of people in self-isolation in accordance with state regulations and public health orders, delivery delays are expected across the network due to driver shortages, depots experiencing temporary closures and/or operating with significantly reduced staff.
Whilst we understand that delays of any length can be frustrating, we want to assure you that we are doing everything in our power to get your orders to you as quickly and safely as possible. However, at this time we are unable to provide any guarantees regarding delivery and take no responsibility for delays caused by Couriers and Shipping Agents.
When goods leave our factory you will receive a shipping notification with an estimated time of arrival. This is provided to us by our Courier delivery service. It is important to note that this is an ESTIMATE ONLY. Therefore, we advise all of our customers to visit the website of the delivery service provider and use their tracking number to receive more accurate updates and information regarding the delivery of their goods.
Please see the table below to see how Carrier delays may effect your delivery.
