FAQs
What level of insurance do you offer?
We operate our own Marine Transit Policy which allows us to provide a warranty to customers to cover their items for loss or damage up to a value agreed with them which we would offer to all the students who request us to collect their items. We will provide each student with a short inventory and ask them whether they wish to have cover put in place and, if so, what value they would wish that to be.
What social distancing procedures do you have in place?
We are currently operating within the guidelines laid out by the Government and the Chief Medical Officer as follows:
- All our drivers wear face masks and surgical gloves.
- Where we need to enter a premises our team will maintain the 2 m distancing and this would apply to anyone who is escorting them.
- It is for reasons of the safety of our drivers and staff that we will only collect items that are within the students room.
- Once their work is complete they will dispose of their gloves and disinfect their hands.
- Upon arrival back at the service centre all shipments are placed into a quarantine area where they are left for a full 24 hours before any further work is carried out on them.
Can you collect the items from the kitchen
For safety reasons, and being unable to identify personal items from shared spaces, we cannot collect items that are in communal areas.
