Delivery Schedule Update

Posted by Richard

Delivery Calendar

Our delivery/collection schedule operates on a week commencing basis, if you were to place an order today the following dates are the earliest your order would be available for delivery/collection.

Trussed rafter (roof truss) orders for delivery/collection on week commencing Monday 27th May and easi-joist® (Posi-Joist™, SpaceJoist™, Ecojoist®) orders for delivery/collection on week commencing Monday 27th May.

As always terms and conditions apply, the main one being that you have confirmed the sizes are correct and that your payment has cleared before an order can be manufactured and delivered. Payment can be made by one of the following methods:

  • Debit card (No surcharges) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Mastercard Personal - Credit card (surcharge of up to 2.09% applies) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Visa Personal - Credit card (surcharge of up to 2.09% applies) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Mastercard/Visa Business - Credit card (surcharge of up to 2.09% applies) in person or over the phone (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Cash in person (Delivery usually around 5 working days)
  • Cheque through the post or in person (Can take 5 working days to clear so delivery is usually around 10 working days)
  • Bank transfer (Can take 3 working days to clear so delivery is usually around 5 working days)

The reason we apply a surcharge to credit card transactions is to cover the cost of the commission charges that we have to pay to our credit card terminal provider for those payments made by credit card. For example if a trussed rafter roof package costs £5000.00 and the commission charge is 2.09% we would have to pay the terminal company £104.50, for that one job it may not sound like a lot but when we are supplying hundreds of roof & floor packages that total soon adds up. It is for that reason that we recommend using other payment methods for which Customers are not charged for making payment by such as bank transfer, cheque or debit card.

easi-joist Enquiry Form Updated! Finally

Posted by Richard

Late last year when Internet Explorer 9 was released it came to my attention that the enquiry forms where not completely compatible with the new browser, so I set about updating them one at a time. After a few weeks I had updated the general enquiry form, the trussed rafter enquiry form and the place an order form, the easi-joist enquiry form though I just didn't get round to completing.

So this Saturday, more than seven months down the line, I was browsing the Internet when I came across Gravity Forms a WordPress plugin, this website is actually running on WordPress which is primarily designed to be a blogging platform that you can install on your own web hosts server so you can manage and customise it how you want. Anyway I decided to install the Gravity Forms plugin and I re-designed the general enquiry form in the plugin which which makes it super easy for anyone to make a form because you essentially pick which elements (text boxes, drop downs, checkboxes etc) that you want on your form and it does all the hard work of writing the code for you as well as setting up the database table to store the forms entries and the email notifications to tell you when someone has completed the form.

After testing the general enquiry form and being satisfied that I had it setup and working correctly I decided that it was past time that I sorted out the easi-joist enquiry form so after about an hour of work placing and customising all the form elements I wanted the form was finished. I carried out a couple of tests and then replaced the old enquiry form with the new form I created using Gravity Forms, that isn't the end though because you can still only enter the dimensions and quantity for one joist, in one of the next updates to the Gravity Forms plugin they are going to be adding the ability to add additional elements on the fly so as you are filling in the form you will be able to press a button and add another box or two to the form so you can add another joists details to the enquiry.
