Logistics

Planning

What Changes For You and Your Repairs

If you have devices on the workbench awaiting components or if you manage tight deadlines with clients in your store, you should adjust your work planning immediately. Parts leave our warehouse in the normal preparation time, but road transit time will depend exclusively on road safety.

  • Advise end clients that delivery times for screens, batteries, or integrated circuits may extend due to the weather.
  • Pre-order critical parts through the online store without leaving home.
  • Monitor the assigned tracking code to check the delivery status with the carrier.

Safety

Recommendations and Next Updates

In a scenario of high weather risk, the top priority is the protection of people. We recommend strictly complying with the guidelines of the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority, avoiding trips to the counter if local weather conditions represent a danger.
