Failure to meet these conditions will void any claims for loss or damage. Invoices must be settled within 24 hours of preparation.

Consignments addressed outside the EU undergo customs clearance. Clients are responsible for providing necessary information and documentation if requested by customs authorities.
-
All parcels sent outside the European Union and UK are subject to customs inspection. If the customs office requires additional documents related to the contents of the parcel, the Customer or Recipient must provide these documents. Customs authorities have the right to dispose of or confiscate the parcel if the sender or recipient fails to pay the required duties and taxes or if prohibited items are found within the parcel. The Customer acknowledges that Oddisey LtD, the courier, or any government border or customs authority may open and inspect the parcel at any time. Should the sender or recipient refuse to pay customs duties or provide the necessary documentation, they agree that the customs authorities may confiscate or return the parcel to the customs warehouse for a decision on further shipping. The Customer is also informed that additional fees may be incurred for returning the parcel to the customs warehouse, processing the parcel, and for any other services provided.

5. Collections Bookings:
-
Dates and times for collection and delivery displayed on our website are estimates and not guaranteed.
-

6. Payment
-
Payment for delivery can be made using PayPal, card through our website, or via bank transfer using the reference number and details provided on the invoice from Oddisey Ltd. Please be aware that we don't accept payments to the courier, over the phone, or by post. It's crucial to note that parcels will only be sent out for delivery upon receipt of the full payment.
-
When you make a payment for parcel delivery service to Oddisey Ltd, it implies your acceptance and agreement with our terms and conditions.
7. Surcharges
- Upon receipt of a parcel at our warehouse, a comprehensive evaluation of its weight and dimensions is conducted to ensure precise alignment with the quoted prices. Should the dimensions surpass the designated maximum limits for actual or volumetric weight brackets, Oddisey Ltd maintains the prerogative to levy supplementary charges contingent upon the parcel's dimensions.
8. Claims and Liability
-
Each parcel includes limited coverage. Fragile items, like vases, ceramics, glass, TVs, phones, and other delicate items, are not covered. Additional insurance only applies to lost parcels.
-
Courier collection services between the UK and EU lack insurance protection. Should you require such coverage, please get in touch with us.
-
For overseas service (delivery to the required destination), each parcel is insured for USD 100. If you need higher insurance to cover the total value of the contents, select this option using our website's booking system. Note that this insurance costs 5% of the total insured amount. Enhanced insurance covers solely loss of a parcel, not damage, and is valid only upon full payment for the service.
-
To comply with insurance requirements, carefully inspect the parcel's contents when signing with the post office representative. Fill out the form in conjunction with the delivery company's representative or postman. Failure to do so will impede the processing of claims.
-
Proof of the lost goods' value is necessary for every loss claim. Claims for damaged, lost, or delayed deliveries will be rejected in certain circumstances such as Acts of God, consequences of war, insufficient packaging, or absence of shipping labels.
-
Submitting a claim form is mandatory for claim investigation; otherwise, the claim will be considered invalid.
-
Claims for lost or damaged items might take up to 3 months to investigate.
-
Claims for late delivery are not accepted unless they exceed 60 days.
