Correctly packaging, labeling and securing your items helps our carrier to deliver them in a timely and safe manner. These guidelines will help you to comply with their Conditions of Carriage. There won’t be a quiz at the end, but if you fail this section it could be the difference between shipping a product or a jigsaw puzzle.
For a Saturday delivery to the main metropolitan areas simply attach a Saturday delivery ticket to your ticketed item and label your item clearly ‘Saturday delivery’. Even if you can’t go out on a Saturday night to the city, at least your package still can.
In some case you may need to purchase Saturday Delivery tickets in advance from our customer service team.
Our standard policy is that no items are delivered without a signature from the recipient. If this occurs the courier will leave a ‘calling card’ at the address detailing when the delivery was attempted and the ticket number. The recipient will then need to call the courier company on the ticket to arrange redelivery or pick up from the local branch. Please note perishable goods are not cover by our insurance, to ensure perishable goods are delivered in a timely manner in case the recipient is not home to sign for the delivery, you may like to consider using Authority To Leave.
If you are comfortable with leaving the package without signature, you can provide us with an Authority to Leave. If this is provided, the courier will leave the package even if there is no one to receive and sign for it. Please note that this indemnifies Parcelport and its agents against any loss or damage.

Our carriers have devised the following policy to manage the handling and cartage of Dangerous Goods (DGs). The overriding objective is to ensure a commitment to legislative requirements with minimal disruption to customer’s expectations.

Customers should be aware that DGs may be returned to them if criteria of this policy are not met.
