If the above-mentioned position does not suit the customer, the goods will be returned to the point of dispatch at the customers cost. It is the customers responsibility to provide a suitable and safe vehicular environment to offloading on the site. Transport costs are the responsibility of the customer.

Courier deliveries

Simons Seconds uses various courier companies to deliver smaller and lighter products. If you are receiving a product that is to be delivered by a courier you will need to be at the delivery address to sign for the parcel. If you can not be there please contact us for an Authority to Leave form and leave this on your front door or in a place where it will be seen by the driver so that your item can be safely left. If the courier can not leave your item you may incur a redelivery cost. If this should happen all redelivery costs will be the responsibility of the buyer.

Pickup procedures

Now that you have selected your new backyard products we need to get them to you. Remember these products are heavy. You are welcome to pick up the items yourself but be prepared to use your muscles and bend your back! (and then you have to do it all over again when you get home).

N.B We will not hand load your box trailer for you, (should we have time, we will help you). We can place pallet loads with the use of a forklift IF POSSIBLE and within a SAFE LEGAL travelling load capacity with the appropriate safety restraints e.g. straps angles etc.

At any given time Simons Seconds Pty Ltd reserves the right to refuse to load your vehicle should the customer not comply with safety standards law by NSW Workcover and the Service NSW.
