Pallet Exchange Program 

Lifestyle Blinds & Shutters have invested in providing a pallet exchange system to ensure that your goods are delivered to you efficiently and in the best possible condition. This pallet service will start in Melbourne, and then continue to other states. It is provided free of charge, and every effort is made to ensure that these pallets are kept in good working order.

If you receive a delivery of our product on pallets, we ask that you have these pallets empty and ready for return when your next delivery arrives. If this is not the case, then a $50 pallet no return fee will apply. This fee will be charged to your account, and will be payable 7 days from the date of the invoice.

We thank you for your ongoing support and trust that you will benefit from the above policy with reduced damages, costly replacements and unnecessary lengthy delays.

 

 

Shutter Product Updates

 

 

Clearview Tiltrod Discontinued - Reminder 

In our September and December newsletters we announced that we would be discontinuing the Clearview Tiltrod option.  This notice is just a reminder of this change, so that there is no confusion, delays or disappointment for your customers.

On 1st January 2012, the Clearview system was discontinued.  The easy tilt system is the replacement. The main advantage with this system is that there is no visible tiltrod at all.

Please ensure all staff within your organization are aware of this change, including sales staff and installers.  Orders can no longer be produced with the Clearview system, even if requested in the notes section of the order, and doing this would only delay the processing of your order.

Any panels that may need to be replaced under warranty that previously had the Clearview option will be manufactured with this until the end of June 2012, but panels willl not be able to be made just to match a previous order.

This may be a good time to update your hand sample panels, and we do carry stock of panels with the Easy Tilt option.  If you need to order replacements you can contact our Sales Department on (07) 3382 5999 who can assist you with this, and of course you are always free to order panels with your own sizes and requirements through the normal ordering process.

 


 

Important Information about Aluminium Shutters 

Unfortunately our factory has been receiving poor quality stock from our aluminium supplier, and the factory are not willing to send out products where the jobs quality is not 100% correct.  Replacement stock, from an alternative supplier has been ordered but will not arrive at the factory for approximately 8 weeks.

We understand that your customers will be adversely affected, and some may want to cancel their orders, so this can be done if you wish.

Please advise before the 28th of January 2012, if you would like to CANCEL any aluminium shutter orders, or if you would like to wait for acceptable stock to arrive at the Jakarta factory.

Please also be aware that we will not be accepting any further Aluminium orders until our factory has acceptable quality stock at the required stock levels.  If you need help sourcing an alternative supplier, please contact your local sales representative who will be happy to assist you.
