The following contacts are given to enable you to get the correct information fast. Out of hours, please leave a message on our voicemail system and we will call you back as soon as possible.
           
 

Ordering

Please quote your customer number if known and provide explicit written instructions that cannot be misinterpreted. To help you we supply our own order pads. In the event that we need to contact you regarding your order, please include your telephone number. We suggest that you give each order a reference number and retain a copy of the order sheet for reference, this will help us to trace your order in the event of a query. The placing of an order confirms your acceptance of our Terms of Business.
 
Payment
All prices quoted exclude VAT. Please remember to add VAT at the current rate.

All work must be paid for in full on collection or delivery. A 50% advance deposit will be requested on orders for goods or services of high value where the customer is not known to us.

Payment may be made by credit card, debit card, cheque or postal order (please make cheques and postal orders payable to PEAK IMAGING). We accept Mastercard, Visa, Maestro and Delta cards. Personal cheques will be accepted only if supported by a valid cheque guarantee card. Company cheques can be accepted by prior arrangement only.

Postal customers without credit facilities should pay by credit card or include a cheque covering the full value of their order. This should include postage and packing plus VAT.

 
Credit Accounts
Organisations whose account departments demand official order numbers on all invoices MUST indicate an order number with each job. We cannot guarantee to link confirmatory orders sent later. Any query relating to an invoice must be raised in writing with our accounts department within 21 days of date of invoice. No discussion or adjustment is possible after that time.
 
Collection and Delivery Service
We operate a collection and delivery service for regular customers in Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield and surrounding areas. Please contact our reception for further details.
 
Postage and Packing

Postage and packing will be charged at cost on all orders sent via mail subject to a minimum charge of £2.50. All mail orders are returned via first class post. We will, at your request, despatch orders via Special Delivery, Recorded Delivery or Courier. Charges will be made at cost.

Heavy and bulky items, such as mounted prints, will incur an additional charge of £7.50.

All prints up to and including 12” x 10” will normally be packed flat, larger prints will be rolled and supplied in a postal tube. Print sizes up to 30” x 20” can be supplied flat at an additional charge of £7.50 per order.

 
Turnaround Times
The service times quoted are given as a guide to average in-lab turnaround times, please allow for peak period delays. If you require an order urgently, please state the date you require it rather than using the term “very urgent”. Phrases such as URGENT or A.S.A.P. are misleading and can result in an order being delayed.
 
Film Processing - E6, C41 and B&W
Films sent for processing should be clearly marked on the order and on the outside of the container, specifying the type of emulsion. This is of particular importance when using sheet film or re-loadable 35mm cassettes. When film is cut from bulk stock please make sure that the film is cut to the exact length or shorter, as over length film can foul the automatic machinery. Films should not be submitted for processing in dark slides, as we cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage.
 
Cropping, Print Finishing, Colour Matching

Certain film formats are incompatible with standard industry sizes (e.g. 35mm full frame to 10” x 8” requires substantial cropping). Please select a compatible print size or allow for this when ordering. Sizes shown are in inches and may be fractionally under or over the sizes quoted. All prints (excluding some from digital media) are trimmed borderless.

Colour photography is a subjective medium. If you require us to match a previous order, please include a sample print. Note however, that due to paper batch variations and the limitations of the dyes used in the photographic process it is not always possible to guarantee an exact colour match of guide / sample prints. In the absence of specific instructions we will use our own judgement aiming for a broadly neutral print.

 
Black & White Prints
Please note that all black & white prints are produced digitally onto colour paper.
 
Copyright
Orders for reproduction of photographs etc., are accepted on the strict understanding that the customer holds the copyright. The customer must assume liability for any resulting action brought about by a third party.
 
Liability
It is impossible for the Company to assess the value of originals and unprocessed film supplied by the customer and the charges made for our services do not reflect or incorporate unlimited liability. Customers should insure work of special value and advise us accordingly. All orders for processing and printing are accepted on the basis that their value does not exceed the cost of equivalent new unprocessed material. In the unlikely event of loss or damage, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, liability is limited to the cost of an equivalent amount of unexposed film and refund of any processing charges paid.
