7.2 In the rare event that the Carrier cannot make the collection please contact Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd immediately where we will re book for collection the same day if cut off has not passed or the next working day. Please be aware that we are not aware of any issues with collection until we are contacted and the carrier should not be contacted directly as the booking is made on the Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd account with the carrier.

7.3 Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd does not always come into direct contact with the Consignment/s but sometimes arranges for the collection through one of the major Carriers that we hold an account. Please ensure the correct parcel or mail is given to the correct collecting agent that you have chosen at the time of ordering.

7.4 Your Consignment/s must be packed to a reasonable standard, packed within a double walled box with the contents cushioned and protected inside. The packaging must also be sufficient to protect the Consignment’s weight. It is not always obvious when a Consignment has not been packaged properly. The Carriers will assume that Consignments have been correctly packaged and will exercise a level of skill and care appropriate to that. Any claim resulting from a parcel or mail that is not packaged to a reasonable standard and in line with the above may be declined..

7.5 Please note that any item travelling through our services must be able to withstand a short drop, fragile items should not be sent though our services. Please see our packaging guidelines and Prohibited / Restricted Items in addition and also sections 10 and 11 relating to Prohibited Items and Restricted Items generally.

8.2 Shipments to and from remote areas nationally and internationally on all services may be subject to delay and possible service downgrade. Please check the address with us prior to sending for advised transit times.

8.3 Guaranteed Services are guaranteed to most areas. It is the Customers responsibility to check the area they are sending to is covered by this guarantee.

9. RESTRICTED ITEMS

9.1 We strongly recommend that you do not send Restricted Items using our service. This is because such items are fragile, dangerous or otherwise inappropriate to be carried by our services and Network. Should you proceed to send such goods you do so at your own risk as they are excluded from cover.

9.2 Restricted items could be subject to non-collection, delay, return or confiscation by Customs. In such circumstances, if a restricted item is collected by the Carrier and then later returned, no refund of carriage will be given and return charges may be applicable.

9.3 In addition you should note that if you send a restricted item, this may cause damage to other Consignments being carried and you may ultimately be liable for loss to those other Consignments if the senders of those Consignments seek to pursue you.

10. PROHIBITED ITEMS

10.1 Prohibited items must not be sent using our services. Sending a Prohibited Item using our services is contrary to these terms and conditions. No Transit Cover is provided for Prohibited Items. If a Consignment which contains a Prohibited Item is lost or damaged, you will not be able to make a claim for any Transit Cover or other claim from Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd relating to any loss or damage to such items (and Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd hereby limits its liability accordingly).

10.2 In addition to our prohibition of the carriage of Prohibited Items, hazardous / dangerous goods are strictly prohibited from our services. Failure to declare hazardous / dangerous goods could lead to you being prosecuted where unlimited fines and imprisonment are possible. Please note that the list of Prohibited/Restricted items which relate to our services is not an exhaustive list of what could be considered to be hazardous or dangerous.

10.3 Item/s sent within a hazardous box will be classed as such, strictly prohibited. Please do not reuse old hazardous boxes.

10.4 In addition you should note that if you send a Prohibited Item, this may cause damage to other Consignments being carried and you may ultimately be liable for loss to those other Consignments if the senders of those Consignments seek to pursue you.

11. LOSS / DAMAGE CLAIMS

11.1 Please notify us as soon as possible of any claim relating to loss or damage of a consignment and within 28 days of the damage or loss if possible. This is because the Carriers only maintain their records for a limited amount of time (normally up to a maximum of 12 weeks) we will then contact the relevant Carrier on your behalf to enable them to conduct an investigation. After the 28 day period the carrier can be approached to investigate but we can only proceed if the carrier’s systems allow.

11.2 All enquiries relating to loss or damage to Consignments should be directed through Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd. Please do not contact the Carrier directly about your order. If the Carrier is contacted directly, this may cause delays in the resolution of any issues you may have.

11.3 Please be aware that you should sign for goods as “damaged” if this is the case (and if you are not the Recipient of the goods, you should ask the Recipient to do the same).

11.4 If goods are signed for as being in good condition, it will be difficult for you to show that the goods were damaged in transit. If you are unable to check when the driver is there, please arrange for goods to be signed for as “unchecked”.

11.5 To process a claim, you will need to have proof that the Carrier has taken the Consignment from you. The best form of such proof is the receipt which the Carrier should provide you with when the Consignment is collected or obtaining a signature on a copy of the shipping label you have. In addition, in the event of a claim a copy invoice will be needed to prove the value of the Consignment.

11.6 The damaged item together with all packaging should be kept until the claim is concluded as more photographs or inspection of the item may be necessary.

11.7 If a claim is made that a Consignment has been damaged, all packaging should be kept for inspection by the Carrier. The item must also be available for inspection in the state it was delivered, at the address it was delivered to. Further journeys could cause further damage, making it difficult to assess the original damage. We may also ask for photographs of the internal and external packaging as well as the damaged item to process the claim.

11.8 If it is shown that an item has been damaged in transit, we will (at our discretion) generally pay for damage to be repaired rather than a replacement – depending on the level of damage to the item and subject to the general provisions in Section 14 below. Accordingly, if you make a claim relating to a damaged item we may also ask for an estimate of repair costs for that item supplied by an specialist who will carry out the repair. If the item cannot be repaired then we would need this in writing from the specialist for a claim relating to the replacement of the item to be considered.

11.9 In the event that a claim is approved and repair/replacement costs are paid, we will also pay the costs of the reasonable evaluation report and the postage costs associated with that repair/replacement (subject to the postage being limited to the type of Carrier service where the item was damaged) – to the maximum amount specified in section 14.

11.10 The Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd’s claims team will arrange for your item to be carried for repair through the Caribou Worldwide Ltd or DTD Logistic Solutions Ltd’s Services when requested.

11.11 A claim relating to a lost item can only be processed once the Carrier has concluded its searches for the item. Invoices should still be paid pending this credit..

11.12 Any amounts payable in relation to a lost or damaged item will only be paid to the party placing the order as further described in 16.4.

11.13 Please ensure the exact name or company name is entered at the time of booking as a Surcharge will be charged to re issue a settlement cheque. See section 6 for further details regarding surcharges.

11.14 If you wish to contest any claim decision, please write in to the Customer Service Director within this period (as described in the following section) after having discussed the decision with the Claim Manager – see section 13.1.
