We will always endeavour to ship the least expensive rate and cost. This may not always be achievable but we will endeavour to do our best.
Freight is calculated according to size and weight of goods shipped and all rates for this are determined by our carriers. All freight charges will be invoiced to you.
If you choose to collect or use your own courier or carrier all charges and responsibilities for damage, breakages, and any other circumstances are 100% yours.
Delivery date will be given in good faith but cannot be guaranteed as we cannot control or be responsible for changed conditions of trade, economy, severe weather, industrial relations, pandemics, industrial action, accidents, carrier delays.

If you are unable to accept delivery, or our courier is unable to deliver your order during normal business hours, redelivery charges will apply.

Please provide clear delivery instructions for delivery during business hours between Monday and Friday. Any special delivery instructions must be advised prior to dispatch (preferably at the time of ordering). If no one is available to sign for the goods, the freight carrier will leave a note at the delivery address and the goods will be returned to the carrier’s local depot.

You can opt to give us an ‘Authority to Leave’ where we authorise the carrier to leave the order unattended at your address if no one is available to receive the delivery. But this is entirely at your risk and neither Perfect Pieces nor the transport company assumes any responsibility for damaged or missing items.

You are not authorised to redirect any delivery with any of our carriers and you will be charged any penalties or charges we are charged for any unauthorised redirection. These charges will be passed on and paid by you.
