Corona-Lockdown Update: You can still buy PC hardware at Wootware during lockdown
Computer specialist and store Wootware announced that it has re-opened its online store and is able to deliver computer hardware in South Africa during the lockdown period.
“We’ve been issued an operating permit by government and will continue processing and dispatching orders during the shutdown period,” the Wootware website states.
The permit from the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission can be found published on the Wootware website.
In addition to this, the company noted that its courier partners, Dawn Wing and FedEx will be processing their deliveries, each of whom has stringent procedures in place to ensure safe delivery.
Dawn Wing confirmed this via a statement on Twitter, stating that Wootware is an essential product provider and that it is allowed to deliver Wootware’s products.
These are the precautionary measure Wootware will be taking to ensure the safety of staff and customers:
- Limited access to the Wootware office. Only essential warehousing staff who process and facilitate the picking, packing, and dispatching of parcels are allowed.
- All staff have been equipped with N95 respirators to wear at all times and are well versed in WHO-standard sanitation procedures. Any staff not adhering to this are sent home.
- Staff wear surgical gloves when packing orders.
- Alcohol-based hand sanitising stations were installed throughout the warehouses.
- UV disinfection lamps procured for the office to neutralise surfaces and to irradiate the surfaces of all outgoing packages.
- State-of-the-art HEPA air filtration devices throughout Wootware’s premises.
- Measures for the handover of packages to couriers to avoid contact and minimise the risk of infection transfer.
