In the absence of the client, delivery will be considered effective against consignee signature of any person, found present at the delivery address, who is willing to take the delivery of the shipment, unless there is good reason to doubt such a person's entitlement to take delivery. There is no obligation on the selected courier service provider to check the identity of such a person (e.g. on the basis of an identity card).

The selected courier service provider is entitled to deliver the package, suitcase or pallet to an alternate address (neighboring address, local post office or delivery point). In this case, the courier company will leave a note with the location of delivery of the shipment on the main address indicated. If the package, suitcase or pallet is not picked up within seven (7) days of the first delivery attempt, the selected courier service provider reserves the right to return the shipment to the pick-up address at the expense of the user. According to these Terms and Conditions, additional costs will be charged to the customer, which Global Shipping & Freight USA reserves the right to charge on the credit card used to place the order.

Global Shipping & Freight USA does not guarantee transportation and shipment delivery to a different address than initially indicated by the client, when booking transportation services through the website Global Shipping & Freight USA. In the case that the customer corrects the address timely, the new address will be forwarded to the courier company and used as delivery address for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions; additional forwarding expenses are borne solely by the customer.

Any damages to the shipment must be reported at the moment of the delivery by filling a damage report with the driver or by signing with reservation the proof of delivery. Otherwise, the selected courier company or the insurance company may reject any claim for damages.

According to these Terms and Conditions, the delivery is considered effective if:

the shipment is handed over to anyone located in the delivery address against digital or manual signature, including neighbors and persons present at the indicated premises;
the shipment is delivered to an alternative address;
after multiple failed delivery attempts to the delivery address, the shipment is delivered in one of the warehouses of the selected courier service provider, which is near to the original delivery address;
the selected courier service provider has left a notice of delivery to the delivery contact person, or if this is evident through shipment tracking via the Internet; or,
the shipment is delivered in the delivery address to a person, who falsely presents itself as the recipient.
The shipment is returned back to the pick-up address after the maximum days on the courier's warehouse.

As soon as a delivery is considered effective, it is understood that Global Shipping & Freight USA and the selected courier service provider are exempted from responsibility for transportation.

8. Delays and responsibility in case of delays

In case of delays, in no case will Global Shipping & Freight USA be liable for damages caused by the delay, and shall not be liable to solve or settle the obligations or expenses related to the delay. Global Shipping & Freight USA is not obliged to compensate the customer for delays, neither is required to reimburse any related cost.

9. Responsibility for losses and damages to the shipment

Global Shipping & Freight USA is the administrator of the online platform for booking transportation services and, as such, will not be liable for any loss or damage to the package, suitcase or pallet, or to any of its contents. Global Shipping & Freight USA only works with quality courier services providers and, therefore, damages and/or losses are unusual.

The courier services providers are responsible for the pick-up, transportation and delivery of all shipments, reserved through the portal Global Shipping & Freight USA.

In order to prevent damage, the customer must be aware that, despite the caution measure taken by courier services providers, packages, suitcases or pallets are unloaded, sorted and mechanically loaded and therefore they must be properly packaged.

Packages, suitcases or pallets will be under the supervision of the selected courier service provider from pick-up to delivery.

10. Insurance, claims and complaints procedure and forbidden items

10.1 Insurance, responsibility and insurance coverage

Global Shipping & Freight USA does not act as an insurance company. Shipping insurance packages are not offered by Global Shipping & Freight USA; they are offered by courier services providers directly, or by insurance companies with existing agreements with courier services providers or with Global Shipping & Freight USA. For this reason, the terms and conditions of insurance companies such as Ergo or Lloyds and or of courier services providers such as GLS, DPD and DHL apply in all matters, relating to insurance of shipments, booked through our website.

All orders for transportation of packages or suitcases placed through the website Global Shipping & Freight USA for the service "Selection" or "Flexi" include an insurance provided by the selected courier service provider or by an insurance company by a maximum coverage of two hundred (200) USDos. The insurance premium is already included in the basic price of the shipment. Insurance coverage extends to expenses caused in case of loss or damage of the package. Insurance reimbursement doesn't cover transportation costs for lost or damaged packages.

All orders for transportation of pallets and of freight shipments are ensured in accordance with the Convention on the International Carriage of Goods by Road Contract (CMR).

If the shipment contains items of greater value compared to the maximum insurance coverage, the user is required to purchase additional insurance directly on our website. Additional insurance must be booked in the ordering process and is charged according to the price list of the selected courier service provider or of the insurance company. For the customer to purchase additional insurance, he/she must accept the policies applicable to the chosen additional insurance package, namely the DTV Cargo Policy Open, the DTV Cargo Policy All Risks and the deductible disclaimer applicable to the insurance with ERGO Versicherung AG."

At the customer request, Global Shipping & Freight USA shall cede all claims and rights arising from the transactions, concluded on its own name on behalf of the customer, including the claims under the responsibility of the selected courier service provider for the non-fulfilment or improper fulfillment of the courier services. The customer is obliged to recover or enforce the claims and rights against the courier service provider.

In the case of loss, Global Shipping & Freight USA offers customer support in submitting complaints to the selected courier service provider. However, the decision about the admissibility of the insurance is made solely by the courier company or by the insurance company.

The insurance does not apply in case of:

inappropriate packaging;
unconventional shipments;
transportation of forbidden items and items for which our services are not recommended without previous notice to us;
transportation of electronic devices (such as televisions, mobile phones, computers and other electronic equipment) without original packaging;shipments for which delivery is considered effective according to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions;
switched parcels which occur when the wrong labels are attached to the incorrect parcels;
damages are caused by terrorism, natural disasters;
the customer did not provide enough evidence (photographic or written material) that proves the parcel was in perfect condition before collection; or,
the user has violated these Terms and Conditions in any way.

The courier companies with whom Global Shipping & Freight USA cooperates do not handle parcels that carry a sign, inscription or label which indicates breakable or fragile content or instructs careful handling of the parcel any differently or with special care. A "fragile" or "handle with care" label in no way exempts the sender from the obligation to pack the goods appropriately and nor does it actually protect the goods. The selected courier company and Global Shipping & Freight USA will in no case be liable for parcels with fragile content which result lost or damaged despite the fact of being labeled with a "fragile" or "handle with care" sign.

The driver of the selected courier company is allowed to refuse collection of parcels that are clearly inadequate (too heavy, too big, inadequately packaged) but is not obligated to check the adequacy of the packaging or the contents of the parcels. This means that the driver of the selected courier company can still accept the items even if they are not packed in accordance with these Terms and Conditions or if they contain items on the prohibited list. In such a case, all extra costs related to the shipment of items of inadequate packaging or with forbidden contents will be borne exclusively by the customer. Furthermore, if purchased, extra insurance coverage will not apply to these items.

Global Shipping & Freight USA or the selected courier company are not obligated to check the comments the customers make when placing the order on our website. Even if the customer mentioned that items to be shipped are not in accordance with the terms, the order can still be forwarded to the courier company that can carry out the transport. Even in case that the customer included that information in the comment section of the order process, all extra costs related to the shipment of items that are not according to these Terms and Conditions will be borne exclusively by the customer. Furthermore, if purchased, extra insurance coverage will not apply to these items.

Global Shipping & Freight USA will not be held liable for any damage, loss, failure or delay in the pick-up, transportation or delivery, or for any other damages or costs, arising from transportation services, requested through the web portal Global Shipping & Freight USA. Global Shipping & Freight USA is not responsible for any loss of profits, originated in any of the numerals described above.

10.2 Claims procedure in case of damage or loss

Global Shipping & Freight USA does not acknowledge any alternative dispute resolution provider.

In the case of loss of a package, suitcase or pallet, Global Shipping & Freight USA offers customer support in submitting complaints to the selected courier service provider. However, the decision about the admissibility of the insurance is made solely by the courier company or by the insurance company.

In case of damage or loss of a package, suitcase or pallet, the situation must be reported by the person in charge of receiving the shipment to the courier driver of the selected courier service at the time of delivery. Any damages to the shipment must be reported at the moment of the delivery by filling a damage report with the driver or by signing with reservation the proof of delivery. Otherwise, the selected courier company or the insurance company may reject any claim for damages.

In order to initiate a procedure with the selected courier service for damage or loss, Global Shipping & Freight USA should receive to the email address office@globalshippingfreightusa.com the data indicated in this paragraph.

In order for the insurance coverage to apply, the client must actively track the shipment of the package, suitcase or pallet on the Internet. If there is no change of status in the tracking of the shipment within seven (7) days, the customer is required to contact Global Shipping & Freight USA within two (2) business days from the expiration of seven (7) days in order to begin the search procedure.

If the package, suitcase or pallet is not delivered within five (5) days from the expected date of delivery, the customer must immediately notify Global Shipping & Freight USA in writing by sending an email to office@globalshippingfreightusa.com, attaching the following:

a list of the contents of the shipment and their value;
an external description of the shipment;
information on the method of packaging;
a copy of the confirmation email; and,
a copy of the confirmation of hand over from the person handing over the shipment at pick-up.

If a package, pallet or suitcase is delivered damaged, the client should not receive the consignment unconditionally. On the contrary, the customer, along with the driver of the selected courier service, shall write a report on the damaged shipment received that includes photos and a detailed description of the damage. The document must be signed by the driver and by the customer. In addition, the customer must inform Global Shipping & Freight USA in writing within two (2) business days, following the receipt of the damaged shipment, attaching the following:

the document signed by the driver and by the customer;
photos clearly evidencing the damage (the customer has to provide picture of the parcel and the items before and after collection that clearly show the damage on the parcel or the items occurred during or as a result of transport);
a list of the contents of the shipment and their value;
the address on which the courier can inspect and, if necessary, bring the damaged items; and,
copy of the confirmation email shipment.

If the customer does not duly notify Global Shipping & Freight USA or does not attach all the required documentation to the email sent to office@globalshippingfreightusa.com , the notification will be considered as not sent.

In case of damage of the shipment, the customer is required to keep the package, suitcase or pallet in the condition in which it was delivered, covering all expenses related, until completion of the insurance procedure. If the parcel is damaged on the outside, the customer should take photographs of the damages before taking the goods out of the parcel.

In case the customer notices that some of the items are missing from his parcel at the time of delivery, a claim procedure can be started. The customer must provide Global Shipping & Freight USA via email with the same documentation as in the case of damage, including photographs of the package before collection and after delivery that prove the parcel was opened/damaged during transport which would result in missing content.

Upon receipt of all necessary supporting documents, Global Shipping & Freight USA, on behalf of the client, will send to the selected courier service provider the application for insurance with all the documents attached by the customer. The decision about the admissibility of the insurance is of the sole responsibility of the courier services providers directly, or of the insurance companies with existing agreements with the courier services providers or with Global Shipping & Freight USA. The courier companies or the insurance companies with existing agreements with courier companies or with Global Shipping & Freight USA can take up to two (2) months to decide on the admissibility of a claim.

The claims are always reviewed by the selected courier company first. If the selected courier service provider decides to reject the claim, the insurance company has the exclusive right to refuse the claim as well. The selected courier service provider and insurance companies review each claim case and decide about the amount of reimbursement based on the evidence customer provided and in accordance with their terms and conditions as well as with their internal policies. When deciding on the insurance reimbursement, the courier company and the insurance company take into consideration the extent of damages (whether or not the item can still be used). An amortization fee can also be deducted if the damaged items are not new. VAT and shipping costs (if shown on the invoice that proves the value of the items) are not reimbursed.

Global Shipping & Freight USA reserves the right to, at any moment and without the need to provide explanation, decline or refuse a claim due to incomplete, misleading, contradictory or false data received from the customer. In such a case, Global Shipping & Freight USA will not recognize any further claims from the customer or from third parties related to the customer.

10.3 Complaints procedure regarding the Global Shipping & Freight USA's services

Global Shipping & Freight USA acts as a commission agent and not as a freight forwarder when administrating the online portal for booking transportation services. Global Shipping & Freight USA is solely responsible for the selection of courier services providers, and never for the execution of transportation. This being said, in case that the customer has any complaints regarding Global Shipping & Freight USA's services as commission agent, the customer will have to begin a complaints procedure.

In order for the internal complaints procedure to begin, the customer should inform Global Shipping & Freight USA in writing by sending a registered letter to Global Shipping & Freight USA , 4815 E Busch Blvd # 207, Tampa, FL 33617, attaching the following:

ideally, the name or names of the persons from Global Shipping & Freight USA with whom the customer was in contact;
a copy of the confirmation email; and,
a copy of all email communications exchanged between the customer and the Global Shipping & Freight USA team.

If the customer does not duly notify Global Shipping & Freight USA or does not attach all the required documentation to the letter, the complaints procedure will not begin.

After receiving a complete complaint, Global Shipping & Freight USA will forward the case to the Claims and Complaints committee which will evaluate the case file. Global Shipping & Freight USA's Claims and Complaints committee will send a reply to the customer regarding the complaint within thirty (30) days after the complaint is received.

10.4 Forbidden items

With the adoption of these Terms and Conditions, the client agrees with the list of forbidden items herein and declares that they will not send any object on this list, or any item that is prohibited by the Terms and Conditions of the selected courier service provider or by the laws of the country in which the pick-up or delivery address is located.

The customer agrees not to send stolen goods or goods not in free circulation under the legislation of the United States.

The selected courier company has the right to decline dealing with parcels whose content is of a dangerous or damaging nature, or likely to harbor or to encourage vermin or other pests, or liable to taint or affect other goods. If such parcels are handed over to the selected courier company, the company reserves the right at the expense of the customer to remove or otherwise deal with the parcels with no further notice. In such a case, the customer shall be liable for all loss or damage arising in connection with such parcels and shall indemnify the selected courier company and/or Global Shipping & Freight USA against all penalties, claims, damages, costs and expenses whatsoever arising in connection therewith, and the parcels may be dealt with in such manner as the company or any other person in whose custody they may be at any relevant time shall think fit.

11. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

Unless mandatory rules of the country in which the customer is domiciled specify otherwise:

these Terms and Conditions and the contracts to which these Terms and Conditions apply will be interpreted in light of the laws of United States;
all possible disputes arising from these General Terms and Conditions or from the contracts to which these Terms and Conditions apply will be resolved in the courts of the United States; and,
