  1. How to Pack a UV Lamp Sample

    Leave a Comment

    Has a Southern Lamps sales rep asked you to send in a sample of your UV lamp so we can check the specs? If so, then this blog is for you!

    First of all, please pick out your best looking lamp – It can be used as long as it still fires up.  If you choose to send us a brand new lamp we will make sure it gets returned to you.

    Once you choose your lamp to send we recommend putting it inside of a cardboard box with minimum width and height of 6” along with sufficient packing material inside (bubble wrap, shredded newspaper, foam packing peanuts, etc.).  We do not recommend sending samples in plastic or cardboard tubes as the risk of breakage increases.

    Now that you are ready to fill out the shipping paperwork, please send it to the following address:

     

    ATTN: Samples

    Southern Lamps, Inc.

    6 Carry Back Road

    Ocala, FL 34482

     

    If you are sending us a lamp that you would like returned please double-check it to ensure it is packed very well and insure it for the full value in case of transit damage.  If you have the time it would also be helpful if you could include a completed copy of the Sample Identification Form inside the box with the lamp.  Then send us the tracking number and we will ensure it is received and sent for analysis.

    Now that your sample is packed and sent to us please allow approximately 2-3 weeks for analysis.  If you have an urgent requirement please request fast track processing.

    We are celebrating our quindecennial anniversary this year – That means we are celebrating our 15th year in business!

    To put that into perspective, 2001 was the year that Wikipedia went live, a gallon of gas cost $1.46, Enron filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Microsoft released Windows XP, and the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists.

    In the years since, we saw Facebook grow to over 1.55 billion users, astronomers declassified Pluto as a planet, the world experienced a global economic slowdown, three Star Wars movies were released, and we witnessed the rise of Apple including the release of the iPod, iMac, and iPhone.

    Although the world may have changed quite a bit in the past 15 years we are the same family-owned and operated business and we owe much of our success to our loyal customers. We look forward to working with our valued customer for another 15 years and more!
