6. RISK OF PRODUCTS – IMPORTANT TO KNOW

This is our number one condition! Please read carefully!

Kosher4u.eu Guarantees that all goods are shipped intact. We have over 10 years of shipping experience to our customers, however we are dependent on the third party shipping companies and sometimes accidents can happen in transit. Especially glass items or soft, fragile items are at high risk. Chips, cookies, crackers are a good example. When ordered in combination with glass items there is the risk of the items arriving crushed. We do our best to wrap the items safely and as compact as possible but there is simply no guarantee given. Tip: consider these type of items when you place your order.
You agree that either you or another person will be in to accept delivery of chilled items, and that Kosher4u cannot be held responsible for chilled goods that spoil as a result of nobody being available to take delivery of the goods or due to unforeseen delays in transit caused by the shipping company.
If there is noticeable damage on the outside of box, you have the option of refusing your delivery. The shipping company will then automatically return the box to us. This option works best when you have ordered only dry items as we will then be able to provide you with a full refund as opposed to perishable items where no money-back guarantee is ever given.
The Products will be at your risk from the time dispatch provided we have received full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products.
