UPS Access Point Delivery Services Are Back Online!
07 December 2018
We're delighted to announce the long-awaited return of our ever-popular UPS Access Point Delivery Services to our Online Trade Store! The technical difficulties we experienced took longer to resolve than we'd hoped, however we've taken as much time as necessary to ensure your ability to choose the most suitable delivery service is as easy and smooth as possible before re-integrating the UPS Access Point system.
Plus, we've managed to integrate both UPS Access Points and the new DPD Pickup shops on to the same map, meaning available collection points from both couriers will be displayed at the same time. We're hoping these changes will make it even easier to find the right delivery services online without any hassle.
To find collection points near you, first view the contents of your cart, then click the green 'Proceed to Checkout' button:
At the next screen, confirm the address you wish to use to find your local collection points in the drop-down menu, and click the green 'Continue' button:
On the next screen, the default option is Courier Delivery (services to your home or business address), but below this is the option to 'Collect from a pickup store', click on this banner to display the map of collection points:
Once you've clicked this banner, the map of local collection points will be displayed.
You can click on the UPS or DPD logos to see more information about the store. Once you click on the logo, this will become your selected collection point. The selected point and relevant service will be displayed in the summary at the bottom of the page:
You won't need to actually select the service you wish to use, it will automatically be determined based on the type of collection point (UPS or DPD) you have selected. If you wish to view a list of available stores rather than navigate the map, there is an option to switch to 'List View' in the top corner above the map area:
Once you've found an appropriate collection point, please make sure to check the summary at the bottom of the screen for details of the store's address and opening hours, the expected delivery date and the cost of the service (if applicable).
Once you're happy with your selection, you can proceed through the checkout as normal and submit the order.
Please note: Some areas may only be served by one courier (UPS or DPD) and some others may not have any local collection points at all. If you do not see the option to collect from a pickup shop, unfortunately there are no available collection points within a 10 miles radius of your location.
Please note: UPS Access Point services are only available for orders being shipped from our Main Warehouse. Orders shipped from our Secondary Warehouse can still be shipped to a collection point, however at this time we can only offer DPD Pickup shops for these orders.
We hope you find the updated checkout process easy, simple and quick to navigate, however as always if you are having any issues or wish to give us any feedback regarding any part of the website or any of our services, please contact us on 01388 760 333 or email sales@hwos.co.uk
Thank you again for your patience while we've been completing this work.
Earlier Closing Time Saturday 8th December
04 December 2018
We will be closing our office and warehouse earlier than our regular advertised time at 1pm this Saturday 8th December in order for our staff to fully enjoy our annual Christmas do. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding, allowing us to show our appreciation to our colleagues for the excellent work they've done this year and giving them a little more time to get just a bit more merry! Our regular Saturday order cut-off time of 12pm for DPD Local services is unaffected by this change.
Our full opening hours and the available delivery services for the festive period will be published early next week.
As always if you have any questions or feedback, please contact us on 01388 760 333 or sales@hwos.co.uk
UPS Access Point Delivery Service Returning Soon!
14 November 2018
UPS Access Point Delivery Service Returning Soon!
A lot of customers are asking about the return of the UPS Access Point service to our website, and while we had hoped to have been able to offer this service by now there have been some technical difficulties that have proven difficult to overcome.
We are aware of just how popular this service is and we are 100% committed to returning the service to our online Trade Store, we are just taking all necessary steps to ensure it functions correctly and is an improved version of the old checkout process once we go live again.
In the meantime, we are still offering UPS Access Point services as usual, these orders just need to be processed over the phone rather than via the website. We know this isn't as convenient and do genuinely apologise for this, however our Sales Team will be more than happy to process your order and ship to your local Access Point if you call us on 01388 760 333.
We are also offering a brand new service, DPD Pickup, as an alternative to UPS Access Point. You can find your nearest Pickup shop during the checkout process of completing your order online, and this service works in much the same way as UPS Access Point. The pricing remains the same as well, free for all orders over £25 + VAT, plus the added benefit of DPD's fantastic Predict notification service, which keeps you up to date with the status of your order every step of the way.
We never intended for DPD Pickup to replace UPS Access Point as we know a huge amount of our customers have been using the same Access Point for several years now and love the service. Once UPS is back up and running online we will run the services side-by-side, offering a much wider range of available Pickup or Access Points for you to choose from that should make these services even more convenient.
We are working extremely hard with our web developers to relaunch Access Point online as soon as we can. We can't give a specific date yet but we're hoping for early December, once we've been able to fully test the new integration.
As always, if you have any queries or feedback please contact us on 01388 760 333 or sales@hwos.co.uk and we'll do all we can to help.

All New hwos.co.uk - Two Months In
Our brand new website launched around two months ago and we're absolutely thrilled with the positive feedback we've received and the performance of the site so far.
We're always making minor tweaks in the background to continue to improve performance, responsiveness, product range and the services we offer and we'll continue to do so over the coming months and years to ensure we offer the best experience possible to all of our customers.
We have some pretty big ideas for a 'phase 2' launch early next year, but for now we're working on smaller changes to improve on what we already have.
If you have any feedback at all regarding our new site or any of the other services we offer we'd love to hear it. A lot of the work that went in to this new site was based on customer feedback and we genuinely do act on all feedback given so we can continue to improve.
If there is anything you'd like us to know or any have any ideas for changes to our site, services, products or anything else, please contact our Operations Manager James via email at james@hwos.co.uk or call our Sales Team on 01388 760 333.
A huge and genuine thank you to all of our customers for your patience while we launched our new site, and to everyone who stuck with us during the Extremely Dark Ages of the 'old' hwos.co.uk... may those days never return!

Due to the increased volume of sales over the Winter period we've been able to bulk order very high quantities of both Riello RDB (20030953) and Mectron (20031996) domestic fuel pumps at a slightly lower price than usual so we're able to offer these pumps at lower prices than advertised in our current 2018 Gas, LPG, Oil & Heating Spares Catalogue:
RDB Pump 20030953 Currently £56.50 + VAT (Previously £59.00 + VAT)
Mectron Pump 20031996 Currently £55.50 + VAT (Previously £57.80 + VAT)
As always we try to keep prices for all of our products as low as possible, and we'll keep the current prices for as long as we can, however we cannot guarantee how long this pricing will remain.
If you have any queries please contact our sales team on 01388 760 333
