The customer agrees to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws governing the packing, packaging, marking, and labeling of Merchandise for all shipments. All Merchandise must be prepared and packed for safe transportation with ordinary care in handling in an express transportation environment.
Merchandise susceptible to damage as a result of conditions that may be encountered during transit, such as changes in temperature or atmospheric pressure or adverse pavement/road conditions, must be adequately protected by proper packaging. Each shipment must be accompanied by a legible and durably marked description of the nature and quantity of the Merchandise and the name, address, and ZIP code of the recipient. If Merchandise leaks or is damaged due to inadequate packaging, the shipment will be returned to the Customer pickup point, if possible. If the Merchandise cannot be returned because of leakage or damage due to faulty packaging, the Customer is responsible for and will reimburse Godspeed Courier for all costs and fees of any type incurred in connection with the storage and/or disposal of the Merchandise and the clean-up and remediation of any spill or leakage.
