Failed Delivery/Collection

Please note, we have contracts with couriers who are amongst the best in the world, we cannot be held responsible for any failed collections. We are charged a fee of £25.00 by the courier for any booked collection where the client does not have his PC/laptop ready packed or is not available when they arrive. This charge regrettably will be passed on to the client. See terms and conditions.

Signature is required for delivery: Most of our shipments contain valuable IT equipment. If you will not be at the shipping address to accept delivery of your product, consider shipping the item to an address where someone you trust will be available to sign on your behalf including your place of work.

Insurance cover

If you are using our suggested courier collection service, please note the inclusive insurance cover is only £50 per parcel and only applicable if goods are packaged correctly. Clients with expensive PCs/laptops should seriously consider investing £3.50 which gives you up-to £1,000 insurance cover. This option is available to you whilst filling in the on line form or when phone booking your repair.

Please follow our suggested method of packing when sending your laptop as Couriers & insurance companies will not cover broken LCD panels, due to incorrect packaging. Please remember, If badly packed, your insurance cover may be invalid.

    Does & don’ts when Sending your Package
     

  • When sending laptop, please include one battery and the AC adapter in the box. Sometimes one of these items can have caused the problem your laptop is now experiencing.

  • On the outside of the box clearly write the unique reference Number you received when booking.
  • When you receive your machine back, do not remove the warranty label attached to the underside.
