Supporting colleagues and customers
As the news reports of Coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to develop, the welfare of our customers and our employees remains our first priority. We have made significant changes to the way we pick and pack orders by reconfiguring our warehouse to allow us to fulfill orders efficiently and safely with a vastly reduced team.
We continue to receive different requests to supply essential services who require a variety of hygiene and personal protection products to enable them to perform their duties as safely as possible. In addition, we continue to receive requests from loyal customers who have asked us to supply products for their own personal use.
Deliveries
We fulfil orders from a single site. We have taken steps to ensure distancing and enhanced hygiene measures are in place to ensure our staff are able to work safely in our pick-pack operation.
We aim to despatch all orders placed by 6pm however please allow up to two working days for delivery. DHL, our delivery partner has advised that deliveries will be made over a 4 hour window. (Other delivery conditions remain unchanged). DPD have suspended Click their Click and PickUp service until further notice.
Customer service
Our customer service team is operating with reduced staff remotely. We regret that until further notice we are unable to take orders by telephone. If you wish to place an order, please do so online.
We are currently receiving a high volume of calls. We are available between Monday – Thursday 8.30am – 5.00pm and Friday 8.30am – 4.00pm to answer customer related questions only. To save you time we have answered frequently asked questions below. We regret that until further notice we are unable to take orders by telephone.
Ellisons Academy
We are following the Government’s Working safely during coronavirus guidance, to help to keep our colleagues and customers safe. Therefore, our Academy will remain closed until further notice.
If you would like to leave your details on our ‘request a call back’ form, we will contact you nearer the time when we plan to reopen.
We have contacted all of our customers who have booked a course offering a refund or postponement to a later date. If you have a course booked and have not heard from our Academy team, please contact them at [email protected] or call 024 7636 9516 and a team member will provide the assistance you require.
Important notice: Coventry store closure
The recent measures we have taken to ensure safe working practices for colleagues together with a significant increase in online demand for the products we supply, has brought about the need for additional warehouse space and as a result we have made the difficult choice to make Ellisons an online business only.
