ORDERS DELIVERED BY TRANSPORT COMPANY

The time or date on which the Goods will be delivered is up to 5 weeks for glass doors and 6 weeks for wood doors from the date the full payment has reached the Seller’s bank account and the customer has given the final measurements.

From the moment the Goods are in Seller’s warehouse, the Seller will offer the Buyer a slot of 5 working days to receive the Goods. The Buyer can choose 2 working days within the 5 days given for delivery of the Goods. The delivery date has to be agreed by both parties.

If the Buyer fails to accept one of the 5 days offered for delivery then, the Seller can provide storage for goods at extra charges. Storage costs are according to the Seller’s terms and conditions and are not included in the Sales Contract.

The Seller will not store the Goods for an unlimited period and will offer the Buyer the possibility to pick up the Goods.

If the packing material from the pallet shows any sign of damage, the Buyer is advised to take pictures if possible and note all the details on the delivery note of the transport company. Failing to note the visible damage on the delivery note means that the Buyer Accept the Goods with any damage may present and is taking responsibility for it, without to be cover by The Seller guaranty policy. If there are any faults in the Goods which are discovered after unpacking the pallet, this will be treated separately directly by the Seller without any involvement from the transport company. Is the Buyer responsibility to check if the Goods received are the ones ordered.
