DELIVERIES

A receipt will be enclosed as part of the package address label.
Royal Mail will not leave parcels elsewhere (regardless of your instructions) if they require a signature.-
Goods sent to your delivery address must be signed for. When Carriers are unable to obtain a signature they leave a card asking you to contact them. If no one contacts the carriers, goods are returned to Blue Chip Warehouse and you are liable for carriage charges incurred. We will contact you concerning re-delivery.
(Please see our Terms and Conditions.) -
Transit Damaged Consignments:
Golden Rule: do not sign for transit damaged consignments.
Please ensure that the receiver of the consignment inspects the outer packaging and the contents of all parcels before signing the carrier's delivery note.
If any part of your order is damaged in any way shape or form, defective or missing, do not sign for the consignment or reflect this on the carrier's note e.g. "damaged in transit" or "1 parcel only received" etc. or better still, refuse delivery of the damaged parcel and contact us immediately.
Tel 0208 715 0040 or info@windsurfer.co.uk -
If you are having your consignment delivered to a place of work or where someone else could end up signing for the consignment on your behalf, it is your total responsibility to ensure that whoever signs for your consignment understands the full implications of signing for the consignment as detailed in our terms and conditions
-
IF YOU OR YOUR REPRESENTATIVE SIGNS FOR THE CONSIGNMENT YOU WILL BE AGREEING THAT YOU HAVE "RECEIVED YOUR CONSIGNMENT IN GOOD CONDITION" AND WILL VOID ANY SUBSEQUENT CLAIM FOR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT.

Leaving a consignment without a signature:
If your delivery instruction include “leave inside the shed in the garden” or similar instructions that do not need a signature to confirm delivery and the delivering agent confirms they have left the consignment as per your instructions, Blue Chip and our delivery agents will have completed their contract with you by fulfilling your order and delivery instructions. all and any claim for damage goods or non delivery becomes void the moment the delivery agent leaves the goods as per your verbal or written instructions. -
A signature will be required for any high value consignments such as boards, paddles etc. As high value shipments will be an insured consignment, we cannot give instructions for it to be left without a signature, if the driver cannot get a signature for the consignment being received in good condition, they are instructed to leave a card and you will have to contact the phone number on the card to arrange either a second delivery or for you to collect the consignment from the depot. Failure to make contact with the delivering depot will result in the consignment being returned to ourselves and we will wait further instructions. Once the consignment has been returned to us, a second delivery will be at your cost.

All claims for damaged goods, missing items and or incorrect items must be made to us in writing within 24 hours of receiving the consignment. All claims for non delivery of an order must be made to us in writing within 3 days of the quoted due delivery date.
