Covid Lockdown issues

Hello

I would like to ask what other framers intend doing over the next lockdown?

Is it possible to only deal with click and collect customers? by this I mean they either send as many details to me via email and then I quote for the work then they deliver it to my shop (aka workshop now) I have double doors so can open them up and put up a clear screen and table top for them to place the item on. I do the work then either deliver or they collect it. Payment is via transfer

or/and they could choose the framing materials at the door behind the screen and then follow the same steps. Is anyone else doing something like this? I can't get a break on my rent so need to find a way to operate with no contact with customers. Which I find funny as I work at a Supermarket for two nights and I can tell you that is not happening with co workers as online shopping has gone through the roof.

Kind regards Aaron

I don't need customers to come into my shop, during the shutdown, that's breaking the law! They stay outside and pass the work to me through a gap under the perpex screen. I am also not worried about being paid in cash all they have to do is drop the cash in to my plastic box and I disinfect the money. Nothing very complicated and I'm not breaking any rules. Keep it simole and observe the legal requirements and your good to go.
