Goods Delivery and Pick-up claims.

All deliveries require a person present to unpack and inspect delivery and sign for goods received in good condition and free from breakages/damage. It is advisable that they immediately open packages and inspect for signs of damage or defect.

Signing for goods or accepting goods without a person present may be either:

  • a waiver of your rights to claim for transport damage; or
  • a reduction of your rights to claim for faults/damage in manufacturing etc.

Do not sign “undamaged” unless you are completely satisfied with the condition of the contents in terms of breakages and damage or defect.

Deliveries exclude special delivery services – e.g. quick, after hours, unpacking & assembly, box / pallet removal, installation, placement within home, and time greater than 10 minutes on site.
