7. “Inspection” service when receiving an Econt parcel

When receiving an Econt parcel, you may use the “Inspection” service.

This service applies to parcels delivered to an Econt office.

With the “Inspection” service, you may open and inspect the contents of the parcel (without trying them on) for up to 15 minutes.

When “Inspection” is permitted, the Econt employee opens the parcel in your presence so that you can ensure that the contents match what was ordered and have no defects. Trying on or testing the product is not permitted.

Exceptions:

In the following cases, the transport costs for the return are borne by SPORT DEPOT:

  • the delivered goods clearly do not match the goods ordered;
  • the error is the fault of SPORT DEPOT (for example, an incorrect size, colour or item).

In these cases, SPORT DEPOT will also refund the return-delivery costs after the returned goods are received back in saleable condition.

If you need help or assistance, contact us on 0701 90009 or [email protected].
