Risk and Title on Delivery
All our products are delivered by a third party courier company. All courier company firms state that deliveries will only be unloaded by the driver to a convenient and accessible ground-floor location.
The courier’s delivery docket must always be signed for as ‘GOODS UNCHECKED’ or ‘GOODS UNEXAMINED’. If there is obvious damage to either the product OR the packaging ‘GOODS DAMAGED’ must be noted on the courier’s delivery docket. If these strict rules are not adhered to then the risk in the goods is passed to you at the point and time of acceptance of delivery and no claims with regard to carrier-damaged items can be entertained by the company.
Any shortfalls must be additionally noted on the delivery docket as ‘ITEMS UNDELIVERED’. We ensure our deliveries for ‘carrier loss and damage’ and as long as the delivery note has been signed accordingly, and we are notified within 24hrs, we will repair or replace the damaged or missing items at our earliest convenience.
All goods must be thoroughly inspected immediately and any defects, damage or shortfalls must be reported by written notice directly to Caskets For Ashes by email within 24 hours of receipt of delivery. Caskets For Ashes must be given a reasonable opportunity, after receiving the notice, to examine the goods. If requested by Caskets For Ashes, you must return the goods to our place of business for inspection.
After this period any damage will be deemed to have occurred after receipt of delivery. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
Orders will be delivered during normal working hours (Monday-Friday 8 AM-6 PM). Saturday deliveries can only be arranged by prior agreement and for an additional charge (Please call us for details). Delivery dates and times specified by us are given in good faith but are approximate only.
Delay due to any circumstances shall not entitle the customer to cancel any order or refuse to accept delivery. We strongly advise that any carpenters or fitters are not booked until the goods have been delivered and inspected for damage. No compensation is provided in any way for late deliveries by either Caskets For Ashes or the Courier Company concerned.
If no dates for delivery are specified, delivery shall be within a reasonable time. Updates on the progress and dispatch of your order will be provided via electronic notifications.
If for any reason you fail to accept delivery of any of the goods when they are ready for delivery, or our couriers are unable to deliver the goods on time because you have not provided appropriate instructions, documents or authorization, or if access to your property is not available to us:
(a) risk in the goods shall pass to you;
(b) the goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and
(c) Caskets For Ashes may store the goods until delivery, whereupon you shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
An alternative delivery date will be specified by Caskets For Ashes and if no alternative delivery date is specified it shall be within a reasonable time.
Goods will not be left without a valid. If no one is present at the premises to accept or sign for the delivery then the full, unsubsidised cost of re-delivery may be charged to you before re-delivery can commence.
