Postage type:
Which postal or delivery service to use is up to you, we do advise using the below options:
Which postal or delivery service to use is up to you. We do advise using delivery that is next-day guaranteed, and fully tracked, and always ensure insurance cover is equivalent to the RRP of the item. If your rental is returned without the correct insurance cover, the renter will be liable for the cost of the item RRP.
Tips for safe postage:
-
Make sure to always include a return address on all parcels. If the item cannot be delivered due to for example the address being wrong, it will be returned to the sender (you). If the postage provider does not have a return address, you might never receive the item, which will be considered undeliverable. Please check with your postage provider how to provide a return address with your parcel. If an item is lost during postage, you are liable to compensate the lender for this. Most postage providers do not compensate in situations where the item was deemed undeliverable.
-
Send all items insured. If your item gets lost or damaged during postage, it is the sender's responsibility to compensate for this.
-
Ensure the renter's address is correct and written clearly. If the address is illegible, the postal provider might return it to the sender, and the renter could be eligible for a refund.
-
Package rentals appropriately. Make sure all items are packaged well and protected during postage. This is especially important for more delicate items.
Sundays and Bank Holidays:
When requesting and approving a rental, please ensure you factor in Sundays and any Bank Holiday periods as postal services will take longer. If your rental ends on a Sunday and your chosen postal provider does not provide service on a Sunday, you must check with your lender before sending it back. Ensure this is Next Day Delivery so it is swiftly returned to your lender.
The same applies if your rental has ended on a Bank Holiday. You will need to communicate with your lender that you will return this the day after the Bank Holiday with the Next Day delivery.
If your lender is not happy about this, you will need to extend your rental request to the following day and return your item then.
