Damaged items

We never knowingly ship damaged goods. Occasionally, however, things do get lost or damaged in transit. For this reason, our shipping charges include insurance where we deem necessary.

We retain the proof of all postage. Whales From Space is only responsible for goods until they are delivered to you, your dedicated safe place or your nominated neighbor. Once goods have been accepted and signed for, you are responsible for them.

If your parcel arrives and looks damaged we advise you to ask the courier to wait whilst you inspect the contents. In the event that the goods are damaged please tell the courier you wish to reject the parcel. If you are unable to open the package in the presence of the courier, please sign for it as “Damaged package; goods not yet inspected” or similar. This will warn the courier that an insurance claim may be forthcoming.

On delivery please check all Products carefully within 24 hours for any possible defects or missing pieces. If you believe any of our Products may be defective or of unsatisfactory quality please notify us immediately so that we can send replacement goods.

We ask that you take reasonable care of the Products while your claim is being investigated. Please do not return damaged or defective goods until requested to do so as this may incur unnecessary additional costs.

Whales From Space will not process a claim for goods lost or damaged in transit if the above has not been adhered to.
