6. PACKAGING, LABELLING AND COLLECTION

6.1 You are responsible for providing us with a full and accurate collection address and any other information for the collection and/or delivery of Goods. You agree to make the package available at this collection address on your chosen collection date between the hours of 9.00 - 18.00. You agree to ensure the correct item is handed to the driver. Upon request for security purposes, you agree to open luggage items and permit the collecting driver to check for prohibited items. Your collection must take place from an easily accessible location; the driver must be able to drive within 25m of the collection point; the collection point must be accessible to the public; the driver will arrive at the address, knock the door and expect the items to be present. If no one is present or the address is inaccessible i.e. access card/key required they will leave and no refund will be offered. It may be possible to pay an additional fee to have a driver attempt the collection a second time. You shall indemnify us for non-delivery and late delivery of consignments due to (i) your providing incorrect information and (ii) persons not being present at specified addresses for the collection and delivery of Goods. You must provide a local telephone number, whilst the Nannybag service does not include a phone call prior to collection as standard, in some locations this number may on occasion be used by the collection depot to clarify collection details.

6.2  Occasionally collections will take place earlier in the day, later in the day or the day after your chosen date, this can be due to traffic, illness and other unforeseen events.

6.3 You must:

Attach the provided label securely in such a way that it cannot be easily removed. DO NOT attach labels in a plastic document wallet using string, cable ties, staples, pins or tape only around the edges. DO NOT, with the exception of boxes, attach labels by running tape around the edge of the label. DO NOT, with the exception of boxes, attach labels using sticky back document wallets. DO attach labels securely in line with our guidance. Do not hesitate to check our FAQ for more tips on how to attach your label safely;

A second copy of the label should be placed inside the bag;

Ensure no old labels or any tag bearing any other tracking number or address other than the delivery address is visible on the bag; 

For international services, attach a packing list and customs form visibly and separately from the tracking label. 

6.4 You must ensure that the description and particulars of any Goods are full and accurate. Any incorrect or inaccurate descriptions may result in refusal to accept the items for carriage. Any costs incurred due to incorrect information will be passed on.

6.5 You must ensure all Goods have been packaged in a manner appropriate to the characteristics of the Goods and their transportation with suitable protective material encasing the Goods to prevent damage. Your items must be thoroughly packaged and must be able to fall approximately 100 cm or slide down a sorting chute without being damaged. Your packaging must be sufficient to hold the weight packed, in particular you must ensure handles and other elements are designed to withstand the packed weight. Your consignment will be passing through automated systems including conveyor belts and the packaging should therefore be robust. Automated systems cannot adhere to orientation markings such as "this way up" or fragile stickers. Your bag may be stacked with other items. By way of example only, appropriate packaging could include a double walled cardboard box or suitcase with individual items wrapped in bubble wrap and secured inside the package. Plastic bags and plastic boxes are not appropriate forms of packaging.

Due to their inability to protect contents, straps which can become trapped in the automated network and their inability to be stacked; Holdalls, Duffles are Rucksacks are no longer considered appropriate packaging by a number of our transport partners. These items should not be used as packaging on any route on which an alert warns they are no longer accepted. If such items are placed in a box they will be accepted. If sending Holdalls, Duffles or Rucksacks on any other route they should be fully wrapped to ensure straps do not get caught as they move through the network.

Musical instruments must be secured within a fitted hard case and in turn suspended within a double walled cardboard box. 

Sporting equipment such as golf clubs, bicycles, and skis should be placed in purpose made hard-shelled, fitted freight cases and secured therein, ensuring vulnerable areas are thoroughly protected. Sporting equipment sent within a box will be accepted for transit but will not be covered by complimentary cover. Sporting equipment sent in a soft sided case may be rejected by the collecting driver, if it is accepted this is not an acknowledgement that the packaging is sufficient and complimentary cover does not apply.

Packaging boxes, cases and covers may suffer damage in transit and where suitcases or bags are used to carry Goods such suitcases and bags must also be encased in a protective material to prevent damage. If a suitcase or bag is not suitably protected we shall not be liable for any damage whatsoever to such suitcase or bag. We strongly advise against using high-value luggage for transportation of Goods.

We shall have no liability for damage caused to protruding baggage parts such as wheels, straps, pockets, pull handles, hanger hooks or other items attached to baggage.

Where any Goods are not properly packaged and protected we shall have no liability for any damage caused to the packaging or the Goods or for the loss of any contents due to failure of the packaging.

6.6 You shall save harmless and keep us indemnified from and against:

6.6.1 All liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses whatsoever (including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, all duties, taxes, imposts, levies, deposits and outlays of whatsoever nature levied by any authority in relation to the goods) arising out of our acting in accordance with your instructions or arising from any breach by you of any warranty contained in these Conditions or from your negligence;

6.6.2   Without derogation from clause 6.6.1 above, any liability assumed or incurred by us when by reason of carrying out your instructions we have reasonably become liable or may become liable to any other party; and

You recognise that your packages may be opened, inspected or seized by international customs authorities and we shall incur no liability as a result of that.

6.9.2 In respect of international deliveries, you shall fully complete, prepare, sign (as appropriate) and attach all documentation as required by customs authorities in the origin and the destination country. Packing lists and customs forms must be attached in a separate wallet from the tracking label and must be attached in such a way to ensure they are clearly visible. Failure to do so may result in customs clearance delays and/or loss/damage to the Goods for which we bear no responsibility. You agree to present any and all information and documentation requested by a customs authority, or by a courier or broker under instructions from a customs authority, in order to clear your package through customs.

6.9.3 Any additional duties or other fees levied by any Customs authority will be payable by the customer and by accepting these terms and conditions you also give us the permission to charge your debit/credit card for any duties or fees that may be charged to us by such customs authority in respect of your Goods. If we are unable to automatically charge your card we will notify you in writing and you will be required to pay us the stated sum within 7 days. Failure to make payment may result in additional recovery costs being incurred which shall ultimately be the responsibility of the customer.

6.9.4 Where the Nannybag service is used to send commercial items it is likely that the relevant Customs authority will impose additional charges and these will be payable by the customer in accordance with paragraph 6.9.3.

6.9.5 Should your consignment be stopped by customs or enter a clearance event at any point be aware it may take customs some time to process any payment or supplementary information you provide, typical turnaround is 1-3 working days but this time frame can be exceeded.

6.9.6 In the event that a Customs authority seizes any Goods for any reason they shall be deemed delivered by Nannybag and we shall have no further liability to the Customer in respect of those Goods.

7. DELIVERY

7.1 Customers are responsible for providing us with a full and accurate delivery address. The delivery point must be accessible to the public and the driver must be able to park within 25m of this point. Customers must have someone available at this address between the normal delivery hours of 9.00 - 18.00 on the expected delivery day. It is accepted that deliveries may take place outside of these hours. With regard to new build locations it is essential that you confirm that the address is known to local couriers and has received deliveries and handled collections previously.

7.2 If our agent cannot deliver the package through no error on their part (inaccessible, no one present etc) a second attempt may be made, usually the next day. If there is nobody present at the supplied delivery address then our agents may, at their discretion, attempt to deliver the consignment to an alternative address being either a neighbouring address or a local post office branch. In such an event, a delivery card will be left at the delivery address specifying the details of delivery at any alternative address. In the case of a delivery to a local post office branch it is the responsibility of the customer to collect the item. If the item is returned to the post office branch you may also be able to call them (on the number provided on your delivery card) to arrange a redelivery - there may be a charge for this service. Any resulting courier charge will be billed to the customer up to 90 days after delivery - settlement will be required within 7 days. If the item is not collected or re-delivered within 7 days of the original delivery date, the item may be returned to the sender address, any resulting loss or damage to your item at this stage is no longer covered by any discretionary compensation that we may offer. Any charge resulting from a return to sender will be billed to the customer – and charged automatically in accordance with Paragraph 4.4.

7.3 Nannybag and its courier agents are not obliged to accept instructions to redirect a consignment to an alternative address, other than the address specified in the order. If such instructions are accepted the alternative address will be deemed the delivery address for the purpose of these terms and conditions. In the case of redirection additional charges may apply and will be charged in accordance with Paragraph 4.4.

7.4 If the delivery is made to an alternative address in the circumstances described in either paragraphs 7.2 or 7.3 above this shall be deemed as if the consignment was delivered to the delivery address for the purpose of these terms and conditions. Liability of Nannybag.com shall wholly cease upon such delivery.

7.4.1 Any signature at your appointed delivery address constitutes safe delivery of your item and that we or our agents are in no way responsible for the item once signed for. We nor any of our agents shall be liable in respect of any Consignment delivered to the delivery address or other address specified by the recipient, where any person misrepresents his authority to receive the Consignment on the recipient’s or Customer’s behalf; or where our agents are delivering it in accordance with instructions from, or purporting to be from the recipient or the Customer.

7.5 International Deliveries

7.5.1 You must provide an available local contact number for international deliveries.

If you provide an incorrect address or your delivery address is unobtainable we will contact you with instructions how to contact the courier directly. If you fail to contact them your item may be returned to the collection address and any return charges will be applied under the same conditions as in 4.6. You should monitor your package via tracking and contact the courier if an item is held, delayed or has stopped tracking.

When providing an international delivery address the customer must ensure it is a known standard delivery address, if it is a commercial address you must ensure that it regularly receives deliveries and handled collections. Providing a generic address of a cruise line at a port for example will likely not be sufficient.

7.5.2 International service charges cover carriage only, any extra charges arising due to customs delays, import or export taxes are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid by the customer. It is not usually necessary to supply value information for personal effects travelling within the EU and   we will not request you to do so, however if you choose to send non standard excess baggage items which may be seen as commercial it is possible that customs may apply a charge, the customer is entirely responsible for paying this charge in accordance with paragraph 6.9.3. You are responsible for ensuring the items they are sending to a country are not restricted. When required the customer is responsible for providing an accurate description and value of contents in order for customs documentation to be completed accurately

7.5.3 By sending any "non standard excess baggage" items which may not constitute personal effects on international services, international customs may apply charges which the customer will be responsible to pay.

7.5.4 In addition to our standard prohibited items list you will adhere to any additional restrictions imposed by the collection or destination country.

7.5.5 The customer is responsible for completing the appropriate documentation required for their particular package to pass through any border control that it may be subjected to. The customer recognises that failure to fully complete and sign any customs declarations may result in customs clearance delays and/or loss or damage to a consignment for which Nannybag.com or its’ agents bears no responsibility. The customer further agrees to accede to any rights of international custom authorities or employees of Nannybag.com or its agents, on instruction from the former, to inspect any package or open any package for inspection.

7.5.6 Under no circumstances hand a bag to a driver without a Nannybag tracking label attached. Failure to follow our guidance for attaching labels and customs documentation may lead to delay and loss.  Labels are available to be downloaded and printed directly from the confirmation email, if you have any difficulties printing your label contact us as it may be possible to send them to you via post for a small fee.

If you complete a manual label directly with a courier driver you are entering a new contract for a different service and you will be liable for any additional costs. In the case of completing an express service label you will be charged the difference between economy and express. Couriers collect for a wide range of suppliers and are not in a position to advise you, you must follow the instructions provided by Nannybag. If you do not have Nannybag labels ready you should always turn the driver away and contact Nannybag directly.

Charges will be applied in the way as applied in Paragraph 4.4.

7.5.7 Your international delivery's transit times and charges are quoted based on the details provided, should you fail to provide a postcode in the internationally recognised format for any country you may not be made aware of additional transit times or costs to your specific location.  No details other than the postcode should be entered in the postcode box when placing your order. Additional charges when due will be collected in accordance with paragraph 4.4.

7.6 Storage

If delivery of the Goods or any part hereof is not taken by the recipient at the time and place when and where we are entitled to make delivery, we shall be entitled to stop the Goods or any part thereof at the sole risk of the customer whereupon the liability of Nannybag.com in respect of the Goods so stored shall cease and the customer shall be liable for the costs of such storage if paid by us or any agent. Customers are responsible for ensuring that all items are fit for storage e.g. vacuum sealed etc. and that the Goods do not contain perishable items.

8. DELAY AND SUBSEQUENT LIABILITY

8.1 We do not provide any guarantees as to date or time of delivery.

Note that most delays are due to customers failing to label their packages correctly or for failing to weigh the goods properly or for failing to complete documentation fully. If a package is undeliverable it will be returned to the collection address and a cancellation charge will be levied in addition to any return charges imposed by the courier.

No expenses will be paid if holiday baggage is delayed and all customers are strongly advised to purchase travel insurance to protect them from such an event.

9. LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO A PACKAGE

9.1 We are a booking agency and are in no way responsible for the loss of, or damage to any package or its contents.

No refund will be provided for shipments returned under these circumstances and a €25 security processing fee will be due before your shipment can be recollected. In some cases your shipment could also be seized and action taken against you by the FAA or other authorities.

It may seem over the top that an aerosol would cause the return of your luggage, however in the past faulty aerosols, lithium batteries and flammable liquids have resulted in serious security alerts and as such the aviation authorities have imposed a zero tolerance policy on the inclusion of such items in unaccompanied luggage. While Nannybag has no control over the international aviation security protocols, we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all involved and require our customers to comply fully with the regulations. This information is clearly displayed during the booking process, in our pre collection security email, in the packing advice selections made prior to accessing labels and elsewhere.
