Shipping policy

Delivery

a) Although the Company will make every effort to deliver or procure the delivery on the agreed date, time for delivery is not of the essence of the contract. Any quoted delivery date or period is a business estimate only and is conditional on the Buyer, at the time of placing the order, providing the Company with such information concerning the Buyers requirements as enables the Company to fulfil the order. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever caused by delayed delivery of goods.
b) Charges will be made for journeys undertaken on the Buyers instructions which prove to be abortive.
c) Goods will be deemed to be delivered within seven days after the date of invoice, unless prior to the expiry of such seven days, the Buyer notifies the Company and any carrier in writing of non- delivery.
d) The Buyer must notify the Company by telephone of any short delivery or loss or damage to goods in transit immediately upon delivery of the goods save also in the circumstances set out in the 'Failure to take Delivery' section below, and must confirm the same in writing within seventy two hours thereafter; the Buyer shall at the same time notify any carrier in writing of any such loss or damage and shall enter a note of the same on the carriers receipt. If the Buyer fails to give notice as provided above and the Company is precluded from making recovery whether from any insurer or third party in respect of the loss or damage complained of, then the Buyer shall be liable to pay for the goods as though no such loss or damage have occurred.
e) If any carrier for any consignment of goods receives an unqualified receipt therefore by or on behalf of the Buyer, the Company shall have no liability to the Buyer for loss of or damage in transit to such goods or for miss-delivery or non-delivery thereof.

Failure to take Delivery

a) If goods are ready for delivery and the Buyer fails to take delivery at the time required by the contract the Company shall be entitled:
i. to invoice the Buyer in respect of such goods forthwith; and
ii. to arrange at the Buyers expense for the handling and storage of such goods and for their insurance, from the date of invoice to the date when the Buyer takes delivery of or the Company
disposes of the same and risk in the goods shall pass to the Buyer forthwith.
b) If the Buyer fails to take delivery within thirty days of the date of the relevant invoice it shall be deemed to have repudiated the contract and without prejudice to any other right which it may have against the Buyer, the Company shall be entitled to resell the goods forthwith.
