Under this scenario, an attempted delivery card will be left at the premises. It is then the responsibility of the customer to follow the instructions on the attempted delivery card to arrange re-delivery or pick up the goods from the Post Office / Depot. If the consignment is returned to us, we reserve the right to charge a re-delivery fee.
