Please box up well, although we cover loss we cannot accept responsibility for damage and how a machine is packaged.

• Option 2-Service & return postage -£117.50  (you arrange to post this to my workshop)
• Option 3-Service only-£100 Drop off & collect directly from my workshop in Nottingham 

Important:

Although I offer a postal service, the postal fee covers the cost of the service and I take no responsibility for goods damaged. I will pack goods in the package that was sent and in some cases add additional protection if I deem the package can be better supported. Any claims are between the courier and yourself and I will do my best to help in any way I can.  All claims must be reported on the day of delivery so that I can make the claim on your behalf.

How to book in:

1. Please email with your name, full address and mobile,  and state which service you would like 1, 2 or 3 

(If service 1 provide the date you would like it collected-We can usually collect next day if required)

2. Parcel your classic up as well as you possibly can (we only need the shell-no leads, lids or portafilter etc are required) -the more bubble wrap the better and make sure you use a box that allows you to comfortably add protection . Our postage is insured for lost parcels, but you are responsible for packaging your machine up as well as you can. If your machine is damaged in transit, you will be responsible for making a claim.

3. Once the service has been completed I will email you the payment details and once payment is made, return your machine to you.

Should your classic require further replacement parts, I will contact you once I have examined the Classic to discuss any additional costs.

Repairs:

 Should you want a quote for repairs and not a service. There is a £25 assessment charge, that is absorbed into the cost should you wish the repair work to go ahead.  Just send the machine to us or enquire about our collection and delivery service.
