Alubox avails of the collaboration of the BRT courier to carry out shipments in Italy and the DPD division for shipments within the EU

The commissioned product is checked and packaged in the most optimal wrapping to ensure perfect and intact delivery. In any case, the goods leave our warehouses in excellent condition, checked and without defects. When placing the electronic order, the Customer is notified of the methods of acceptance of the goods and must strictly comply with the instructions provided in the order confirmation.

We would like to remind you that by Regulation delivery is on the ROAD (at the gate) and NOT TO FLOORS (at the door). In case of delivery to floors, the additional courier costs will be charged to you. We ask that you check the package and sign with “SUBJECT TO INSPECTION” specifying any visible anomalies on the packaging or on the package itself, as we are not liable for damage caused by the carrier.
Caution: the courier makes two delivery attempts then the goods go into the warehouse, please be present at the shipping address. In case of opening a parcel in Stock notice, you will be charged the management costs.

In particular, upon delivery of the goods, the Customer must check:

that the packaging is intact, not damaged or wet or, in any case, altered.
He/she must also make sure that the number of packages actually delivered matches the number of packages indicated in the invoice sent by e-mail

In the event the package shows anomalies, the “subject to acceptance” must always be SPECIFIC WITH A DESCRIPTION of the condition of the material being delivered by the courier (example: wet package, open package, package with hole, package with dent, etc.).

The words “subject to inspection”, “subject to confirmation” or “subject to intact package”, are deemed as “acceptance with general reservations” and will NOT be sufficient conditions for submitting the DAMAGE CLAIM.

In the event that the driver, in the presence of evident damage, refuses to have the wording “reservations with specific anomaly” affixed on the waybill, with description of the unsuitability of the packaging, it is preferable that the recipient REFUSES THE SHIPMENT

Once the courier’s document has been signed, the Customer will not be able to contest the external characteristics of the delivered goods.

Refusal of the goods
- The ordered goods depend exclusively on the Customer’s will, therefore, unless the right of withdrawal is duly exercised, in no case should it be refused, under penalty of charging the round trip transport costs In case of unjustified refusal of delivery, Alubox shall request the reinstatement of the costs incurred with the courier. The Customer must pay the incurred transport costs (notice by e-mail) within 15 days. If the Customer is in default after this period of time, the legal procedure will begin. The internet order is recognised as a normal sales contract entered into by the purchaser. In fact, the telematic connection is recognised through the IP address (of one’s computer and telephone line), the telephone number, postal address, tax code, shipment confirmation contact.
- If, once the goods are received, you realise you have made an incorrect purchase and wish to return the item, you are required to pay the full shipment costs for sending and returning the same according to the rates of the courier used.

Unknown Address
- The goods shipped to the address indicated by the Customer does not imply liability for non-delivery by our company if the communicated address is incorrect or incomplete.
- If the courier is unable to identify the exact address due to an incorrect or incomplete indication, any returns of undelivered goods will be charged to the recipient. The relative cost for a further shipment will be charged to the Customer.
