Last Airfreight Shipping Date in December - 7th December 2012
Airline passenger and cargo traffic increases every December, and airport congestion and consequent clearing times can increase. Given this, and the fact that whilst Christmas Day falls on a Tuesday this year we are conscious that many sites close earlier during the previous week, we have determined that Friday 7th December will be our last shipping day before Christmas. Products shipped then should be delivered towards the end of w/c 10th December or possibly the beginning of the following week. The first shipping day after New Year will be Friday 6th January,with these products being delivered during the following week.
Can everyone please plan their requirements for the period accordingly.
At the moment our office will be open up to and including Monday 24th December, and reopens on Wednesday 2nd January.

Email Delivery Problems - now resolved
During a switchover to fibre optic broadband, on Monday 30th July, our ISP experienced difficulties transferring data over our line. Engineers spent a full day fixing the problems, but have still been unable to assign us a fixed address for our email gateway. This has resulted in a loss of service since Monday morning and many emails sent to us may have bounced. We have switched to an alternate system and can now send and receive emails. If you have sent an email and received a bounce back message, or if you are unsure that we have received your email, please resend and we will confirm receipt. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

DEC Donation
We at Carramore wish everyone good luck and much success in 2012.
Whilst there are difficult times ahead for many people, due to the world-wide financial crisis, life is still particularly difficult in the Horn of Africa, through war and subsequent famine. Carramore wanted to put something additional back into Africa at this time so we have made a donation to the UK Disasters Emergency Committee. This organisation is an umbrella group for a number of major charities, helping coordinate their activities in disaster situations. You can follow their work or make a donation at www.dec.org.uk
