We want to inform you about an important change that will affect certain device shipments.
New Legislation Impacting Device Shipping
Starting from 28th December, we will no longer be able to ship devices that do not support USB-C charging to Northern Ireland. This change is due to new EU legislation mandating USB-C compatibility for electronic devices. While we understand this might be inconvenient, this regulation aims to streamline charging standards and reduce electronic waste.
What Does This Mean for You?
If your chosen device does not support USB-C charging, we regret to inform you that we will not be able to process a shipment to Northern Ireland for that device. However, Fonehouse remains committed to ensuring you have access to the latest technology and fantastic deals. Here are some options to consider:
- Choose a USB-C-Compatible Device: Browse our range of USB-C-supported devices, such as the iPhone 15 or the upcoming iPhone 16. These devices are not only compliant with the new regulations but also come with incredible deals and cutting-edge features.
- Visit Our Belfast Store: For customers in Northern Ireland, you can explore all available devices, including those without USB-C charging, at our Belfast store. Our friendly team will be happy to assist you in finding the perfect device to suit your needs.
Why USB-C?
The move towards USB-C charging is part of a broader effort to create a universal charging standard. Benefits include:
- Faster Charging: USB-C technology supports higher power delivery for faster charging.
- Versatile Connectivity: USB-C can transfer data and power, making it a versatile option for modern devices.
- Reduced Waste: By standardising chargers, fewer cables and accessories will end up as electronic waste.
