COVID-19 Coronavirus

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information for our Customers. Updated 23rd September

As of 24th March 2020, the UK government placed the country under lockdown restrictions in a bid to contain the coronavirus. During this time, we have we remained operational and able to process and deliver your orders. We continue to do this, albeit while observing government guidelines on safe working for our employees.

Continued Service

Our team continue to prioritise orders for key industries and organisations such as the NHS, Government, pharmaceutical, education and transport, although we are still providing a top-level service to all customers, new and old.

Safety and Social Distancing

Ballicom continues to take this situation very seriously and we are attempting to operate on a ‘business as usual’ basis, as is entirely practicable. During this time, as client support is of the highest importance to us, we are doing everything we can to continue our work safely. This does mean that we are facing some delays whilst we observe social distancing protocol in our warehouse, as we are currently operating a rota pattern with strict sanitising and ‘wiping down’ procedures. All our team are issued with sanitiser materials, including wipes, sprays and gloves. We strictly observe the government messaging on washing hands and 2 metre distancing, which provides its own challenges, but we are still up to the task and adapting to serve you, the customer.

Increased Working Hours

We have increased working hours to ensure that we can process orders effectively, whilst observing safety protocols which invariably will slow processes. Health and Safety is our primary concern right now, as I’m sure you’ll understand.

Certain working restrictions and varied courier services can affect our ability to process orders as quickly as we would like and as you’d expect from Ballicom. So, we are asking customers to please bear with us during this period. We will advise customers of any delays at the time of ordering or when providing quotes, as much as possible.

Supplier Liason

We continue to work closely with our suppliers and our individual ‘task teams’ are monitoring the situation daily and in constant communication. We are always looking to improve throughput to keep things moving as normally as possible. Things aren’t back to ‘normal’ yet, but we are edging closer to ‘business as normal’ and have great communication with our suppliers.

We understand that these are trying times for everybody and computer equipment is now considered an essential commodity in keeping everybody active and engaged in their daily duties and routine. Therefore, we will strive and push to get orders fulfilled and workforces supplied as best we can.

Further updates will appear on our Facebook page. However, here is some key information for our customers:

Opening Hours

We continue to keep our normal opening hours, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. However, our staff are working beyond these times to facilitate safe working procedures and keep your orders moving.

Workforce

Most of our employees are now working back in our office. This includes our Sales Team and Customer Service Team. Our Logistics Team are also on site to process your orders. However, we will NOT accept any visitors during this time, apart from delivery and collection drivers who are adhering to social distancing protocol, as per Government guidelines.

Collection

The option to collect your order from our Trade Counter has been suspended as of Monday 23rd March to protect our customers and staff. This will remain in force until further notice.

Delivery Lead Times

Our logistics team and courier partners are working on delivering your order as quickly as possible. However, due to the current situation please allow an additional 24-48 hours for the delivery to arrive. If you do not receive your order in this period, please contact us and we shall endeavour to assist you. We thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Contact Free Delivery

Our courier partners are operating a contact free delivery and customers will not be asked to sign the handheld units and the driver will take a photo of the parcel at the point of delivery. With this new process you will still get your full track and trace functionality, giving you complete visibility of all your parcels.

Unoccupancy of your Premises

If you are not able to occupy your premises on a daily basis due to these events and are expecting an order delivery, please contact us on customerservice@ballicom.co.uk quoting your Order Number in the Subject.

Technical Faults/ Advice

If you have a technical fault with a product or require technical advice, please email us at customerservice@ballicom.co.uk or log a query online and we will be able to assist you. Alternatively, you can simply reply to an email we have sent to you. We encourage you to email rather than telephone for a speedier response.

Response Times

We will be working to resolve your enquiry as soon as we can. We appreciate your support and understanding during these unprecedented circumstances. Our team will do their very best to keep you updated as much as possible with any developments relating to our office support and wish you well.

We will, of course, abide by Government guidelines and will continue to monitor the situation and lockdown restrictions. Our business practices will periodically shift accordingly to accommodate, so do please check back to review this message. Or, simply call our Sales or Customer Service Team to talk to one of our advisors.

Lastly, we would like to thank our great team who are working through this difficult time.

Thank you for your continued custom.

Other Information

Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) - obligations of the seller

The seller is responsible for delivering the goods to the buyer at a named place of destination. The seller neither clears the goods for import nor unloads the goods.

DDU - obligations of the buyer

The buyer has to clear the goods for import and takes on the risks and costs of the goods as soon as they are accessible at the named destination.

Import VAT

Generally, you must pay VAT on imported goods at the same rate that the goods attract if they were supplied in the UK. The procedure for making payment depends mostly on whether the country from which you are importing goods is inside or outside the European Union (EU). You can reclaim VAT from goods imported from within the EU when you declare them on your VAT return.

CFR - obligations of the buyer

Under CFR, the buyer becomes responsible for the goods and all associated extra costs and risks once they have been delivered over a ship's rail at the port of departure. The 'extra' costs are any that arise en route to the named port of destination other than the cost of seafreight itself, which the buyer will have paid.

Faulty Returns

Unless otherwise stated in the product description, all goods are supplied with a warranty for up to 12 months. Certain items such as batteries for will only have a 90 day warranty. Certain other products contain their own manufacturers warranty, which may vary between manufacturers.

Should you discover the goods are faulty, please inform us via our website: contact and clicking on the Enquiry Type : Faulty Product Return Request

We shall then send you the appropriate method of handling the faulty goods by either asking for the items to be returned back to us or in some circumstances, the return may be handled by the manufacturer or their authorized repair centre.

Should you return any goods which upon inspection are not faulty, or have been subject to willful damage or accident or negligence by you, we may charge you for any delivery charges together with our expenses.

We request that Goods be returned to us within 7 days of our Returns confirmation.

We will then ensure that we deal with the return as quickly as practical.

WEEE Regulations

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.

The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.

Much of the UK's WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.

Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.

Ballicom International is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us.

For example, if a customer bought a new digital camera from us we would accept their old digital camera and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below:

Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.

UK Battery Directive

What is the Batteries Directive?

This directive sets out clear guidelines for the collection, treatment and recycling of waste industrial, automotive and portable batteries.

All batteries are required to be labelled with the appropriate battery label.

The regulations have been put in place to ensure that products are recycled using best available treatment, recovery and recycling techniques to ensure human health and high environmental protection.

How do I recycle my old batteries?

Portable Batteries (e.g. Alkaline AAA) can be returned to Ballicom in person at Ballicom House. 101 Lockhurst Lane, Coventry, CV6 5S, (please do not post)

Portable Batteries can also be recycled at a local council site - please contact them directly for further information.
