Damages or loss during shipment

Although every effort will be made to secure the safe arrival of products, it may happen that products are damaged or lost during shipment.

Storm Vintage strongly advises to only sign the receipt for ‘delivery in good order’ after checking the package upon receipt. Visible damage of the packaging should be reported immediately to the delivery person, who must take note of this. In this case the shipping company is aware that something happened during transport and not after delivery. It is important to make pictures of the damage before opening the packaging.

However, if the customer only discovers the damage of the packaging after the delivery person has left, he/she should immediately call the shipping company. He/she should let the company know that the parcel is damaged, file a claim and ask for written confirmation. It is important to make pictures of the damage before opening the packaging.

The customer should act likewise if he/she discovers that the purchased item is damaged. He/she should call the shipping company, let the company know that the item is damaged, file a claim and ask for written confirmation. It is important to make pictures of the damage from all angles.

Always keep the packaging including packing material of the damaged item(s) until the investigation by the insurance company is closed.

After the customer contacted the shipping company, he/she needs to inform Storm Vintage top email within 24 hours after receipt of the product. It is requested to include a description and pictures of the damage. On receipt of the complaint, Storm Vintage shall follow the necessary procedures and will inform the customer accordingly.

Since Storm Vintage ships the item(s) and agrees on the insurance policy, Storm Vintage also takes responsibility for a possible claim. Of course, Storm Vintage expects the customer to fully cooperate in a potential insurance case, so that Storm Vintage can meet all requirements of the insurance company.

Storm Vintage takes responsibility as well in case items are lost during transport.
