Alliance Distribution Services wishes to advise of the following changes which will assist customers in maximising opportunities in the period leading up to Christmas.
1. ADS will reduce our normal minimum order value to $150 rrp from Monday 2nd December until Monday 23rd December. This will enable customers to have their orders despatched prior to Christmas without needing to reach the higher minimum.
2. ADS will extend the customer service department hours to open from 7.30am to 5.30pm weekdays and will work from 8am until 12 noon on the mornings of Saturday 7th and 14th December. This will allow customers to contact ADS for queries or to place orders. Further extensions of service will be added should activity warrant.
3. ADS will apply the required resources during this time to allow us to maintain our usual high average daily turnaround through this busy period.
