Republic Of Ireland & Overseas
IMPORTANT UPDATE: As of the 24th December 2020 due to BREXIT on the 1st January 2021 we will no longer be sending parcels to Republic Of Ireland & Overseas as charges around export licences, customs declaration certification and import taxes will be uneconomically viable for the small percentage of parcels we send overseas. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Who We Use For Delivery
We use Royal Mail or Parcelforce for the majority of orders. The method of delivery and the courier used will be emailed to you on dispatch along with a tracking number if available. You can choose any convenient delivery address, but you must arrange for someone to be present to receive and sign for the package on the expected delivery date.
When a parcel cannot be delivered (e.g. no-one at home) you will be notified by the relevant courier with a calling card to arrange for a suitable time for redelivery or collection from the courier's depot. If your parcel is not collected or redelivered within the time frame stated on the calling card (Royal Mail, one week for Recorded Signed For items) then it will be returned to Telephone Service Centre. Your credit / debit card will then be credited your original total cost less £9.99 which is the full cost of processing a undelivered returned item back to Telephone Service Centre.How To Track A Parcel
Once you have placed an order, you will receive an email confirmation that the order is being processed. Once the goods have been dispatched you will receive an email with the selected courier details and a tracking number if available which will allow you to track the status of your delivery. Occasionally parcels are delayed due to poor addressing/sign posting . We may need to give the Courier your telephone number in case they need to contact you regarding the delivery.
What To Do If There Is A Problem With The DeliveryIf the parcel does not arrive when expected, then please do not hesitate to give us a call on 0800 980 8999 stating when you placed the web order. We will look into gathering more tracking information and contact the Courier if necessary and call you back to let you know what is happening. If the goods are damaged upon receipt please call us on 0800 980 8999 or e-mail: enquiries@telephoneservicecentre.com within 7 days of the delivery.
A maximum of one replacement will be sent in the event of no delivery. If the replacement is also not delivered to the same address details that will be confirmed with the customer, then there is a strong possibility the address is incorrect. At which point the order will be cancelled and payment refunded once the situation is evaluated. Thank you.
