7.0 Collections
7.1 Collection times Standard collection times will be set up prior to the customer’s first collection and will be regarded as fixed from this point. These collection times are flexible however, if mutually agreeable to both the customer and Whistl Customer Services. For additional adhoc collections, a minimum 24 hour notice period is required prior to 3pm on the working day (Monday-Friday) before collection. 7.2 Collection Time Change Process The aim of this process is to ensure that requests for new or changes to existing collection times are managed in a controlled way. Whistl Client Services will coordinate requests and notification of changes to collection times. Any requests for changes to collection times must be made by e-mail to Whistl Client Services and may require at least 14 Working Days for change requests to be processed. Whistl Client Services will confirm by e-mail, subject to capacity and capability, whether the change of collection time is acceptable. Whilst Whistl will endeavor to meet the Customer’s requirements, this may not be possible in every instance. The final decision regarding the allocation of collection times rests with Whistl. To cancel a collection, the customer must notify Whistl Client Services by email before Midday on the day the collection is due. In the event of a customer not cancelling a collection, the wasted costs will be passed on to the customer using the applicable rates for flexible collection bookings.
