Carefully Inspect Your Delivery:

Essential Information

Before signing for your delivery, it is strongly recommended that you inspect the package, as signing indicates the goods were received undamaged. If you cannot inspect the package before signing, you must sign as UNCHECKED, or if the package is damaged in any way, sign as DAMAGED. We cannot claim from our couriers for any damaged items not signed for as DAMAGED, and Aquinium cannot process claims for damaged goods. Ensure all products within the packaging are thoroughly inspected upon delivery, including any accessible internal parts.

If you accept a damaged package assuming the goods inside are undamaged, carefully open the packaging and inspect the contents. If you decide not to accept the item, carefully close and seal the packaging, refuse the delivery, and ensure it is noted as damaged. If you accept the package, please take photographs of the damaged consignment and its packaging, and send them to us within 72 hours of delivery to enable us to make a claim against the courier. Claims cannot be made after this period.

If you sign for a delivery and later discover damage (after 72 hours), neither we nor our couriers will accept liability. In this case, you must return the item at your expense for inspection and a repair quote. If you choose not to repair the item, we will hold it for 10 working days before disposal. If you want the item returned, you will be informed of the return cost, and upon payment, the item will be sent back to you.

By completing your order, you agree to adhere to these instructions, inspect your delivery, and sign for it as either OKAY, UNCHECKED, or DAMAGED. If you sign for your goods as DAMAGED, you must notify us by email at sales@aquinium.co.uk within 72 hours.
