Return of Faulty Goods: Packaging Guidelines
Read on if you'd like to know...
- What you need to do to ensure that goods being returned to us are adequately packaged.
In Brief...
- If you're returning something to us it's important that it is packaged correctly so that it does not get damaged during transit.
- We therefore suggest that you package the item in its original packaging (assuming that you have the packaging and it is still intact).
- Where it's not possible to use the original packaging, please ensure that the goods are sufficiently packaged and cushioned to protect against any reasonable shocks, puncturing, scratching or damage that may occur during carriage, handing and/or sorting.
Further information...
Please note that it is in the interest of all parties to ensure that any faulty goods being returned to us are sufficiently packaged to protect against loss and/or damage during carriage, handling and/or sorting. Therefore, when you intend to return any faulty goods, we strongly recommend that you do so in their original packaging (assuming that the original packaging is not damaged).
Where it is not possible to use the original packaging, then please ensure that the goods to be returned are sufficiently packaged and cushioned to provide protection against any reasonably predictable shocks, puncturing, scratching and/or damage that may occur during carriage, handling and/or sorting.
Where we have agreed to collect the goods from you, then our appointed carrier shall be entitled to inspect the quantity, condition and adequacy of the packaging, but it should be noted that it is your responsibility to ensure that sufficient packaging is used to protect the returned goods as stated.
In the event that BT Business Direct reasonably considers that the goods are damaged during carriage, handling and/or sorting due to insufficient or improper protective packaging by you, then BT Business Direct shall not be liable for any loss and/or damage to those good and shall be entitled to reject any goods that do not meet the criteria laid out above. If we have cause to reject any goods, then we shall return those goods to you.
