Delivery Attempts: Our designated courier service will attempt to deliver the parcel to the specified address as provided by the customer.

Safe Place Delivery: Customers acknowledge and accept that parcels may be left in a safe place if they are not available to receive the delivery in person. The Company recommends that customers provide a safe and lockable location on their premises for parcel deliveries to reduce the risk of loss, theft, or damage. The customer acknowledges that providing a safe and lockable location for parcel deliveries reduces the risk of loss, theft, or damage to the parcel. While we strive to deliver parcels securely, we cannot be held responsible for any loss, theft, or damage that may occur if a safe and lockable location is not provided.

Alternative Delivery Options: Customers who are unable to provide a safe and lockable location for parcel deliveries may request alternative delivery options, such as delivery to a parcel locker or a designated PO box.   Requests for alternative delivery options must be made at the time of purchase or by contacting our customer service team.

Delivery Times

Estimated Delivery Times: Estimated delivery times provided by the Company are for reference purposes only and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary depending on factors such as courier delays, weather conditions, and other unforeseen circumstances.
