SHIPPING AND DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS

  1. Shipping and delivery
    As a service to our customers, KOOKU will arrange the shipping of orders via one of our preferred carriers. All charges are proforma and will be included on the final balance due notice.
    If the customer chooses to manage their own freight and delivery, KOOKU must be notified of the specific details of the movement. The fee to move the product from a manufacturer to a terminal for “customer’s own” pick-up will be added to the balance due.
    The location of the pick-up by the client or the client’s agent may trigger sales tax responsibility at that location.
    Ownership of the product transfers to the customer (owner) upon the freight carrier taking possession of the order for transport. Therefore, responsibility for damage occurring in-transit is the owner’s and all claims for freight damage must be made within 72 hours of receipt.
    If customer selects their own freight carrier, freight claims must be filed directly with the selected carrier. KOOKU is not responsible for a customer’s own or third party freight damage and claim.
  2. Receipt of product
    KOOKU recommends using a qualified receiving warehouse to receive, inspect, consolidate deliveries and facilitate in-home installation. KOOKU will recommend a receiver for client if needed. All crated good must go through a professional receiver such as a receiving warehouse.
    A receiving warehouse acts as an agent for the client and is responsible to note any damage and assist the owner with filing a freight claim when damage is found.
    A qualified receiving person should be present to accept products when delivered directly to a home. A signature on the Bill of Lading (BOL) upon receipt of the product confirms that the products are received in good condition unless exception is made on the BOL. If the merchandise is refused upon delivery for quality or damage issues, the receiver should contact us immediately.
    Full inspection must occur within 48 hours of delivery and all freight claims filed within 72 hours.
  3. Inspection of product
    Inspect the cartons or crates carefully. Take photos of any damage to the packaging, this is necessary to resolve damage claims.
    Inspect the branded tape seal. If it is not intact or it is covered over, you should assume the package has been tampered with. Note this on the BOL.
    Unpack the cartons or crates. Inspect all merchandise carefully. Cartons and crates should always be unpacked in your presence. NEVER discard original packaging until satisfied with the delivery. If you are unable to inspect the merchandise at the time of receiving the shipment, note on the BOL that any concealed damage of boxed or crated products will be the responsibility of the carrier or the manufacturer as determined upon inspection of the products. KOOKU must be notified within 48 hours of any concealed damage that is found. Keep a copy of the BOL. Save the packaging material and take pictures of the damage.
    All claims should be reported to the customer service manager at KOOKU.
  4. Product quality and in-transit damage reporting
    Products are inspected by the manufacturer prior to release to ensure that the order is in good condition, complete and ready for shipment.
    The carrier is responsible for a complete inspection of the products at the point of origin. Any damage must be noted on the BOL. The signed BOL is confirmation by the carrier that they have accepted responsibility for delivering the products in the condition in which they were received. Inspection of the boxed or crated products are limited to the exterior of the packages. Exceptions must be noted and the packages opened at once if the condition of the cartons or crates appear compromised.
    The fitting, installation and maintenance of our articles must be carried out by professionals.
