The Earplugs Files – News from Snorestore

Just a v quick reminder that this week sees some important last posting dates if you want to get your Snorestore stuff before Christmas.

1) Second Class post is now no longer an option as the deadline for posting Second Class Royal Mail items was Saturday 17th December

2) First Class and First Class recorded orders must be placed by 2pm on Tuesday 20th December

3) Next Working Day (Special Delivery) orders must be placed by 2pm on Thursday 22nd December

4) If you’re taking things down to the wire, then if you use the Saturday delivery option and we receive your order by 2pm on Friday 22nd December, then your item(s) will arrive on Saturday 23rd.

5) Airmail: it’s too late now to guarantee that any items sent to Europe or beyond will arrive by Christmas. Sorry. You can still order of course, just please don’t expect your stuff to be with you by 25th December.

6) Er that’s it.

Now we’re into December, it feels we can legitimately remind you that there are only a set number of days left before Christmas a) to order your Snorestore stuff and b) to get it delivered. Don’t miss out – order sooner rather than later and keep your stress levels down.

Snorestore will be dispatching every day before Christmas up to and including Friday 23rd December. After Christmas, we will not be able to send anything until Wednesday 28th December as the two preceding days are Bank Holidays in England.

Anyway, here are the last posting dates as published by Royal Mail:

It's not too late ... yet

If you want to get your earplugs well and truly in place before the hordes of relatives (“geri mentalmen” as some would have it) descend, then you can order from Snorestore right up until 23rd December.

Royal Mail’s official last posting date for First Class items is Monday 21st December. The last date for Second Class has already passed – it was on Friday 18th.

If you do leave it until the last minute to place your order, you’ll need to select “Special Delivery” from the Snorestore Shipping options. Otherwise you might find Christmas rather less bearable than usual.

Happy Christmas

Well it is Christmas, almost.  So we thought we’d give you a little present.  Spend just £12.50 on selected products at Snorestore between now and the end of the year, and you can add a set of Mack’s Roll Ups* to your basket.  For free.

* while stocks last. We reserve the right to substitute an alternative product if necessary.

Alpine have a fantastic reputation for producing top notch earplugs for all sorts of applications. We’ve been stocking their products for years because the feedback has always been so good. Now Alpine have responded once again to the needs of the music industry and anyone else who enjoys music but doesn’t want to wreck their hearing in the process. They’ve come up with a cheaper version of their outstanding MusicSafe Pro earplugs.

Alpine MusicSafe Classic

Called MusicSafe Classic, the earplugs are exactly the same as their big brother, but have only two sets of filters for medium and high attenuation (noise reduction) rates, and you don’t get the third, spare earplug. Have a look at them on our website here.

Now here’s the really good bit. Do you know someone who would like a set of Alpine MusicSafe Classic for Christmas? Let us know and we’ll put their name into a hat and we’ll send a set to one lucky winner. Follow us on Twitter at @earplugshop and use the hash tag #musicsafeclassic to be in with a chance.
