 Please NOTE the following conditions which are associated with Pallet Deliveries:

  • Pallet deliveries are a KERBSIDE DELIVERY SERVICE ONLY and, for insurance reasons, the delivery driver will NOT bring your item inside for you; The driver will deliver the order to the kerb outside your home or, in some circumstances, will attempt to bring it to the front door if this is easily accessible to them. Should the front door not be easily accessible then the driver will typically leave it at the most convenient location for you;
  • If it is not possible to deliver kerbside at your home then you MUST advise us of a more suitable location BEFORE we ship the order to ensure minimal disruption to you, as our customer, and also the driver;
  • Upon delivery, circumstances may arise where moffetts and/or forklifts are not available to the driver due to limited availability. In such rare instances, it may become necessary for the customer to engage in manual handling to offload the parts individually from the pallet. In the event that the customer declines to participate in the offloading process, leading to a return of the shipment, all expenses associate with the delivery and return will be incurred by the customer.

  • Once an item has left the RPM POWER warehouse it CANNOT be cancelled without incurring a cost. This cost will be directly related to how far the order has progressed within the pallet delivery network and a customer who cancels an order after it has left our warehouse will, at minimum, forfeit the original shipping fee charged when placing their order;

This fee will be deducted from the refunded amount issued to the customer once the product has returned to RPM Power in good merchantable condition. This fee will be directly related to the shipping cost associated with the order in question. In addition to this, a service charge may also be deducted from the refunded amount.
  • In some circumstances, the customer may also be liable for an additional cost, such as the fee(s) charged by the pallet delivery network to return a pallet of goods the RPM POWER warehouse that has either a) been refused by the customer or b); if the driver has been unsuccessful on more than two occasions in delivering the order as a direct result of customer unavailability at time of delivery, and despite having advised the customer with sufficient notice by phone of the impending delivery; 
  • Please note that in such circumstances, RPM POWER will only apply such fees and/or charges that it itself has incurred from the pallet network in the event of a refused/undeliverable order.
