📧 EMAIL BILLING 📧
The first batch of email bills have gone out to customers on our Chorley rounds. We think everything has gone smoothly but if you have any problems, please let us know.
It’s never too late to change from a paper bill to an email invoice. It not only saves paper but it saves having wet soggy paper if it rains, can’t be misplaced and also saves Deborah’s arms when she has to fold them all 😅 💪
If you’d like to be added onto our email billing list, please send us a message with your email address and we’ll get you added on!
