Where Swiftlyst Logistics assists a customer with purchasing items online:

Full payment must be received before the purchase is made.
Customers must confirm the item, size, color, quantity, price, and other relevant details before purchase.

13. REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS

Cancellation requests should be made at least two (2) hours before the scheduled service, where applicable.

Once a service has been performed, a shipment has been processed, an item has been purchased, or a shipment has been transferred to a third party, cancellation may no longer be possible.

Refunds will be considered based on the nature and stage of the transaction and applicable law.

Swiftlyst Logistics does not provide refunds simply because a customer changes their mind after a service has already been performed or an order has been placed, except where required by applicable law or the applicable vendor’s refund policy.

Any refund policy communicated for a particular service will form part of the terms applicable to that transaction.

The Fair Trading Commission advises that refund policies should clearly communicate matters such as the claim period, proof of purchase, refund method, and any applicable deductions. (Fair Trading Commission)

14. CLAIMS & COMPLAINTS

Customers should report any shipment issue as soon as possible.

Formal claims relating to damage, shortage, or other shipment issues must be submitted in writing within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving the package or being notified that the package has been received, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.

Claims may require:

Invoice or receipt
Tracking information
Photographs of the package
Photographs of damaged items
Proof of payment
Other supporting documentation

WhatsApp may be used for general customer communication and support. However, a WhatsApp conversation will not automatically constitute a formal claim unless Swiftlyst Logistics confirms that it has been recorded as such.

15. STORAGE & UNCOLLECTED PACKAGES

Customers will be notified when packages are ready for collection or delivery.

Customers should collect their packages within fourteen (14) days of notification unless another arrangement has been agreed.

J$200 per package

Customers remain responsible for all outstanding shipping, delivery, storage, customs, and other applicable charges.

Where a package remains uncollected for an extended period, Swiftlyst Logistics may, after reasonable notice and subject to applicable law, return, donate, dispose of, or sell the package to recover outstanding costs where legally permitted.
