Damaged Items

CUSTOMERS are responsible for checking consignments for damage or missing parts, PRIOR to SIGNING FOR and ACCEPTING and the parcel from the courier. We URGE all customers to check EVERY delivery for damage as we cannot claim for damage or loss on any parcel signed for as being in "Good Condition": by signing in this manner you herby INDEMNIFY Rutland Pumps Limited against any claim for loss or damage.

Any omissions or errors on an order must be reported within 7 days of receipt to RPL.

In the unlikely event that items are damaged in transit please inform us immediately. This will ensure that any claims against the courier can be processed promptly and a replacement item sent.

RPL cannot guarantee that any damage to an item reported after 7 days will result in a successful claim and may mean that a replacement cannot be offered.

Goods that are missing or damaged must be signed for as 'damaged' or 'incomplete'. Rutland Pumps Limited cannot guarantee that if a parcel has been signed for and is later found to be faulty or incomplete that it can then be rectified or claimed for. Please check all orders immediately and only sign for your order if it is correct.
