6. Delivery Failure Scenarios

If the shipment is seized by customs, the receiver needs to contact the customs and the couriers to arrange clearance as soon as possible to avoid returning or further loss. We will try our best to provide you with all the necessary documents.

If the package is lost or stolen, or there are no online tracking updates over 5~10 days before it reaches you, please contact the couriers and us as soon as possible to locate the shipment. We will contact the courier to investigate the shipment. In practice, such cases are very rare, perhaps 1 in 500 shipments, when using courier services. Please note confirmation of such cases can take some time, so in such an event you may be advised to place a new order at your expense (if you need goods urgently) while the original shipment is investigated pending compensation.

If the received products are in a damaged condition (soaked in water, badly damaged carton boxes), in such a scenario, you must raise the issue immediately with the courier and let us know about this (send the photos and proofs by email asap). Through the correct reporting process, the courier can give us some compensation.DIYLEDBOX will send new goods or give you a refund.

 

7. General Delivery Failure Cases Where You Accept Liability

You (or the consignee) must take delivery of the goods and comply with any applicable procedures/charges from your local customs.

If the delivery fails because:

• you were not at home, or the courier could not contact you
• the shipping address info details were wrong
• the recipient fails to accept the goods
• the carrier cannot verify the identity of the person attempting to receive the goods
• the courier cannot deliver to a remote area or invalid address
• delivery fails due to war, disaster, etc
• other similar scenarios beyond our control

[In such cases] you agree that DIYLEDBox will not accept liability and no compensation is available.

 

8. Delivery Policy under Special Conditions

1. If you choose to ship by international express like DHL FedEx UPS and your address belongs to a remote area, the remoteness fee should be paid by the consignee. We will inform you about this by email and offer you solutions (pay an extra $31 remoteness fee, change to another NO Remoteness Area Address, pick up from your nearest DHL/FedEx/UPS office, or change to another shipping way).

2. Because of the restrictions of couriers, naked Li-ion battery goods can not be sent by DHL. We will change to ship by FedEx, UPS, or express airmail.

3. The international express can’t get to some spacial addresses (eg, P.O. box or military base), we will accordingly choose a kind of suitable carrier to deliver your order and refund/charge you the shipping balance.

4. When the parcel gets to the target country’s customs, they may need to contact you in certain cases to confirm the details of the shipment. The fees caused by the procedure of customs clearance should be paid by the consignee.

5. The expense caused by the parcel rejection will be afforded by the consignee.

6. The extra expense caused by some cases (eg, Address is wrong, invalid, not very clear or the consignee can not be contacted) should be paid by the recipient; if the parcel is destroyed by the Customs, the expense is also paid by the consignee.
