What is your policy under RTS (Return To Sender)?
Return to Sender occurs when the delivery company cannot get the parcel to you and returns the parcel to us at our cost.
- If the reason of RTS is due to an error made by us resulting in parcel not sent to the correct address we acknowledge our mistake and will resend the parcel to the correct address at our cost.
- If the reason of RTS is due to an error on your part and as a result we incurred the additional charges by our delivery company we reserve the right to pass the incurred charges to you as a condition of resending the parcel to you.
Errors on your part could be due to you providing an incomplete or incorrect shipping address due to mistake or negligence (incomplete shipping address applies to not putting a Company Name where delivery is sent to a business address). It can also be due to your failure to collect the parcel within the time frame (usually around 2 weeks) advised on the reminder notice left by the nominated courier in your mailbox during their attempted delivery (It is your responsibility to check on the courier’s online tracking system to make sure that the item is ready for pickup. Not receiving the reminder notice due to it missing in your mailbox is not a valid reason for your inaction).
If the above-mentioned scenario occurs you have the option to cancel this order when it has been returned to us by which we will then refund you the amount you paid for the order minus all shipping costs incurred as well as a restocking and handling fee (amount is around 10% of item or minimum of $10 whichever is higher). Therefore we strongly advise customers to check their shipping address carefully and at the same time communicate with us beforehand if you have some change in plan or if you need to go on a holiday and prefer us to send your item at a later date. RTS is a situation we do not wish to deal with as it will not benefit our customer or us at all.
