If the notice has not been sent back to us up to the period expiring, the goods will be deemed free of defects.
Please note that images of the damaged goods, the consignment label and the outer packaging are required for reporting transport damage. You cannot submit a claim for damages with the freight forwarder without any images.

Agreements to delivery in a specific place without signature
If you have agreed in writing or verbally with the package delivery companies or carriers to leave the package in a specific place without signature, damage cannot be reported. You accept liability for the shipments from the point at which they are left at the location specified by you. The goods can also be delivered without confirmation of receipt. The package delivery companies and freight forwarders cannot accept any liability if the goods are damaged or lost. Action cannot be taken against freight forwarders in such cases, as we cannot claim that the goods have been damaged or lost in transit, as would be the case without an agreement to leave the package in a specific place without signature.
Please consider whether you wish to continue to allow goods to be left without signature in view of this risk. It may be possible to arrange alternative delivery with a neighbour, for example.
