If the driver refused your parcel due to incorrect packaging, then you would need to repack your parcel.
Once you have done this, please rebook your collection, a futile fee of $26.- may apply. If you cannot repack for safe transit you can cancel and receive a refund.
Please note: It is the sender's responsibility to comply with current government regulations and laws applicable in relation to in each state and country. This responsibility and awareness is known as the Chain of Responsibility (CoR).
Under CoR, all parties who have any influence or control throughout the Supply Chain and transport process are responsible for complying with and are responsible in the event for breaches of the Heavy Vehicle National Law.
FreighPoint would like to make it clear, that it is excludes of the CoR as FreightPoint does not have any influence or control as we are acting as an online booking platform.
When booking your job in, you will be asked whether you give authority for your goods to be left unattended if no one is at the delivery address when the driver delivers.
If you give authority to leave, we ask to specify a spot for the drive to leave the goods such as the side gate or front door step.
In the event that you have selected that there is 'no authority to leave' the item/s unattended at the delivery end, then the item will be taken back to the depot if no one is at the premises to accept it. An 'attempted delivery fee' of up to $33 will be charged to the card holder.
You can then choose to have the item redelivered on a particular day or collect the item from their local depot.
Alternatively, organise for your freight to be delivered to a business address that is open Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm to ensure someone is always at the premises to accept the freight.
Only if you purchased additional transport insurance/indemnity when placing your order, you may be eligible for a damage claim:
- You must notify us within three (3) days of delivery.
- The item you sent must not appear on our prohibited items list or declared as dangerous goods.
