4.Damaged goods on receipt

It is important to read and note this section as it will be required should you need to make a claim for transit damage. Home by Innov8 has extremely low damage rates due to high packaging specifications which are a direct result from rigorous testing of packaging. Whilst we strive to keep delivery damages and losses to a minimum, there are occasions where products can be delivered damaged. As such we need to be 100% sure damage occurred during shipping. You must report any signs of transit damage within 24hrs of receipt of your goods.

1. Please help us by checking your goods on delivery and noting any visible damage or shortage on the delivery note. You have the right to ask the delivery driver to wait while you check your goods. If the packaging has been damaged it must be signed for as damaged. If the packaging is visibly damaged on arrival and you sign for the goods in good condition this may render your claim for replacement or reimbursement invalid.
2. If your package is visibly damaged, you must take a video of the external packaging before unboxing and of the initial unboxing showing any damage to the product in situ within the packaging. It is important to include images of all internal damage to the packaging as well as the actual product damage. Photographs can also be included to support your claim, but you must have video footage of unboxing. Failure to provide video evidence may render your claim for replacement or reimbursement invalid.
3. If there is no visible external damage to the packaging, but on unboxing the product you discover hidden damage, do not remove it any further from the packaging. Take a video of the product and internal packaging damage as soon as discovered and in situ within the packaging.
4. Any damage must be reported to service@homebyinnov8.com within 24hrs of receipt of the goods. You cannot report damage on arrival via a phone call.
5. Video or photographs of a damaged product that has been completely removed from its packaging will not be accepted as evidence of transit damage. Once removed from the packaging we cannot accept liability for damage in transit. It is impossible to differentiate at this point between consumer damage and transit damage.
6. We understand that accidents can happen when unboxing large products, if you accidentally damage your product, we would appreciate your honesty in the matter, and we will do our best to assist you in repairing or replacing at a minimum cost.

 

 

5.Lost goods

Your notification must be submitted in writing no later than 7 days after your expected delivery date to customer.service@homebyinnov8.com.  Once we have located your shipment and its history, we will contact you to organise a fulfilment plan. Be advised that couriers may take up to 10 working days to locate a missing item.

5.2 We will only assist in a late delivery if you have not received your goods by the end of the 2^nd working day after your expected delivery date. Occasionally couriers will experience a delay to their service or will part ship your order due to unforeseen circumstances which are beyond the control of both the courier and Home by Innov8. Couriers will typically complete a partial delivery the following working day.
