FREIGHT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PACKING

Haworth Guitars has perfected their packing process, carefully inspecting each and every product to ensure they are defect-free before they begin to pack your items.  Using a checklist, both staff ensure the correct items accompany your order. Each and every box is also clearly labelled for the courier with top load only and fragile glass items to reiterate its inherent fragilities.  Once complete, your package is picked up by the relevant courier service at our Albion Park warehouse. Haworth Guitars recommends purchasing freight insurance in order to have your item covered in full if transit damage does occur.

ACCEPTING DELIVERY

Haworth Guitars ensures products shipped are inspected prior to delivery and are packaged with clear handling guidelines. However, as freight is handled by third parties, we advise you to thoroughly inspect your Good(s) for damage in transit prior to acceptance. By attesting your signature you are confirming possession and accept your Good(s) as received. If you are unable to thoroughly inspect your Good(s) upon delivery, it is recommended that you clearly write “S.T.I” (Subject to Inspection) under your signature. Failing to do so may waive your rights to recover the costs of damage in transit.

If you've accepted delivery of your product and have an issue please contact us at shop@haworthguitars.online within 24hrs of accepting the delivery, for more information. 

CHRISTMAS + PREORDER DELIVERY

Haworth Guitars ensures a timely turnaround on the packing and distribution of all orders during the busy Christmas season and for PreOrder stock items. However, due to the use of third party freight companies, we cannot (solely) guarantee delivery times for any orders that are placed in late December for Christmas or with PreOrder items.

As previously stated, we will endeavour to process all orders in a timely fashion and as productively as humanly possible. We appreciate your patience during the festive season and for PreOrder items.

FREIGHT – WARNING: RISK PASSES WITH PROPERTY

Selecting the right courier agent is paramount to the protection of your Good(s) while in transit. It is understandable that this choice may not be so easy when each freight company offers different services, some with strengths and some weaknesses. However, to try to assist each customer in this important decision, Haworth Guitars has sourced reliable, efficient and secure freight companies. Alternatively, you can organise collection by a freight company of your choice and provide us with their details.

Whatever your decision, Haworth Guitars highly recommends that all customers consider taking the time to compare agents. This may include, but is not limited to:

• Checking and comparing the courier’s lead times;
• Checking and comparing the company’s capabilities such as GPS tracking and inventory management;
• Investigating all insurance details of each company;
• Confirming the communication processes; and
• Identifying the depot locations.

In doing so, you will be able to determine the right courier company that accommodates your needs. It would be time well spent to ensure that your agent delivers your Good(s) to the front door safe & sound.

Please be mindful that selecting our choice of courier, it indicates that you agree delivery to you will occur when Haworth Guitars place the Good(s) in the possession of the carrier. Title and risk of loss or damage with respect to your Good(s) will transfer to you upon delivery. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you either independently arrange for the insurance of your Good(s) for their full value or purchase Haworth Guitars Transit Insurance before you checkout.
