Please be aware in such a circumstance, the customer will be aware that collection of said goods must be arranged by a certain date or the goods may incur storage charges, and finally discarded at a cost payable by the sender.

No claim for loss or damage can be made on any Prohibited / Restricted items. Any additional compensation cover purchased on any Prohibited / restricted items will be void and non-refundable. It is the responsibility of the customer to check that the item they are sending is not included in the Prohibited / Restricted items list prior to booking and sending the parcel.

In order for a customer to make a claim for a damaged parcel and/or contents – it is of paramount importance that the parcel is signed for as ‘DAMAGED’ otherwise any claim for damage will be refused. It is therefore the customers / recipients responsibility to check the contents of the parcel upon delivery to ensure there is no damage. If the recipient signs for a parcel in ‘GOOD CONDITION’ or ‘UNCHECKED’ then no claim for damage will be accepted under any circumstances, regardless of any tracking information entered or advises directly from Khyber courier. It is the customer’s responsibility to inform the recipient of these terms and conditions also.

In the event of damage, a Prohibited/Restricted item may be held for collection by our team.

If this is the case you will be notified in writing that goods must be collected within 7 days following this point they will be discarded. If the goods are so badly damaged that the contents are destroyed or that the goods pose a Health & Safety risk then they may be immediately discarded, again you will be notified in writing. No claim can be made on a Prohibited / Restricted item. In the unlikely event of a claim needing to be made please complete the online claims form and we will assist in the claim process. In the event of a claim – a copy invoice will need to be provided to prove the value of the consignment(s).

Please state your Khyber Courier order/tracking number and a detailed description of the claim/complaint. Please allow 2 working days for us to review all details of the claim before we contact you.
