Appointment System For Furniture Giveaway
Fairmont Southampton announced a new process for its Furniture Giveaway; with an appointment-based system, where people can choose up to three items each, with the first day reserved for seniors.
This follows after the first planned furniture giveaway at the Fairmont Southampton on January 23rd was cancelled at the last minute, with large crowds of people lining up in advance, and the hotel saying the “turnout far exceeded the hotel’s expectations.” Prior to that event, the hotel had held a Charity Furniture Giveaway, in which various furniture items, including beds, chairs, sofas and desks, were distributed to more than 50 local charities, rest homes and churches.
In describing the new appointment-based process, a spokesperson said, “Fairmont Southampton announces the latest phase of its Furniture Giveaway in partnership with PTIX to introduce an appointment-based system to ensure an organized and safe experience for all participants. This innovative system will allow selected recipients to make an appointment and choose up to three items each, streamlining the distribution and ensuring fairness for all.”
“We are pleased to partner with PTIX, Bermuda’s largest ticketing and solutions-based platform, to facilitate our Furniture Giveaway. Their expertise in managing large-scale events and appointment-based systems is invaluable in ensuring a fair and orderly process for all participants,” said a spokesperson for Fairmont Southampton.
“PTIX is proud to collaborate with Fairmont Southampton, ensuring a smooth and safe giveaway process. Our longstanding relationship with the hotel as a host location for many PTIX events has been invaluable over the years, and we look forward to its continuation post- reopening,” stated a PTIX spokesperson.
The New Process:
- “Priority Day for Seniors: In a dedicated effort to accommodate the island’s senior community, on Tuesday, February 20th, the hotel will reserve the first day exclusively for seniors to select their furniture.
- “Registration for Bermuda Residents: All Residents must book an appointment online at FairmontSouthamptonBermuda.com or call the PTIX customer care line at 441-278-1500 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. February 5th and 9th. The registration will require your name, email address to deliver ticket to and phone number, and ask that residents limit appointments to one per household.
- “Furniture Selection: When making an appointment, residents can choose a limited number of listed items.
- “Pickup Scheduling: Furniture collection appointments are available from February 20th to 22nd, inclusive, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. February 20th will be reserved exclusively for Seniors.
- “Ticket Requirement for Entry: Upon appointment confirmation, PTIX will send a ticket via email, which is crucial for entry at Fairmont Southampton’s front door and for validating the removal of selected items. No ticket will result in no entry; furniture can only be taken with a valid ticket.
- “Collection and Transportation: Recipients must collect items from the Front Lobby at their scheduled time, adhering to a strict “no-holds” policy. All transportation arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the recipients.
