APC Temporary Suspension of Services to Tier 4 Impacted Areas

We have received notice from APC that due to the increased demand for deliveries going to Tier 4 restricted areas, they are suspending their service to these locations until 29th December. This largely affects the South East, London and Wales.

During this time any orders to these areas will automatically be booked on with DPD instead. Please note, we have an earlier collection time with DPD and therefore the cut off for same day despatch is 15:45.

We are working hard to make sure deliveries run as smoothly as possible during these difficult times, however delays are inevitable.

For a reminder of our Christmas opening times and services please see our Christmas opening & shipping times blog.

Thermal cameras have become a hot topic over the past few months, but the reliability of these have been deemed unreliable by the MHRA. Our sister company, Alliot Technologies is the UK’s exclusive distributor of the Kentix SmartXcan body temperature sensor. Unlike other devices on the market, this smart device uses sensors to provide a core temperature reading via the eyes as well as the forehead. Compliant with the IEC80601-2-59 regulation for medical use, this sensor can be simply integrated with 2N systems to enable/restrict access based on the temperature reading.
