Shipping and Liability: Once an order is dispatched, we are not liable for any loss, damage, or theft of items during transit.

On purchase, the customer acknowledges that delivery is provided without signature of delivery and gives the courier company “Authority to Leave,” unless the customer contacts Kiwi Self Contained to organise additional payment for signature on delivery.

Issues Contact: Customers are required to actively contact the courier to report lost items and assist in the claims process. Prompt communication with the courier is essential to facilitate any investigations and support the resolution of the issue. If customers do not provide clear delivery instructions or fail to contact the courier promptly about a lost package, their ability to claim may be affected.
