 | LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
TIPS
Left
your Christmas shopping until the last minute? Too busy to wait in for a delivery?
Are you
still looking for those last few stocking fillers but worried you have left it
too late? |
Please read on........
1) Any
online order you place with us today (17th December), Friday or even over the
weekend will be shipped out on or before Monday 21st December by next day
courier. In fact we will actually be shipping all orders placed before 11.30am
on Wednesday 23rd December by the same method. So in effect somebody placing an
order next Wednesday could receive a delivery on Christmas Eve.
That
said, we strongly advise ordering as early as possible if the order is "mission
critical".
2) If you
don't want to have to wait in for the delivery. Did you know that we can leave
the parcel in your porch, in your back yard/shed or even with a chosen
neighbour. Or alternatively you could have the goods sent to a friends address
or even delivered to your workplace. Simply make this clear in the forms
provided when checking out.
3). If you
are based in the North West we have a collection point in Royton (OL2 6DS) and
this will be open right up until 7pm on Wednesday 23rd December (please check
our home page for up to date collection point opening hours).
If you would
rather collect in person, you need to place your order online as usual and then
choose "Collect in person from our warehouse" as the "delivery option". You will
then receive an email guiding you in to one of our FREE parking
spaces.......plus you get the added bonus of not paying any delivery charges!!
We still
have plenty of stock of our popular aromatherapy box sets and essential oil oil diffusers. In fact at time of writing we are 99.9% fully
stocked across our full range. In any case you will be notified of any out of
stock items as you add these to your shopping basket.
So don't
forget we are shipping ALL orders placed up to the end of this weekend by next
day courier on or before Monday.
Christmas
Closure: It has been "all hands to the pump" over the last 2 months to ensure
that we have been fully stocked and also to ensure that orders have been
despatched promptly. Many thanks to all customers who took the time out to send
messages thanking us for our efforts. This does help when we are burning the
midnight oil!
We will therefore be closed for a full 2 weeks during the
Christmas and New Year period to give everybody a well earned rest. Our sales
office and factory will both be closed from Wednesday 23rd at 7pm (collection
point) and we will re-open on Thursday 7th January at 10am. The last date/time
for ordering for pre-Christmas despatch is 11.30 am on the 23rd December as
mentioned above in more detail.
We would
further like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their continued
custom throughout the last year.
For those of
you who answered the poll question on the order confirmation screen. Many thanks
for participating.
The results
are below and whilst overall encouraging are not perfect. So if you have any
ideas on how we could improve further, please let us know. We have had great
feedback over the years since we set up in 1991 and always welcome constructive
criticism. Email: feedback@essentialoilsdirect.co.uk
