Make the route as clear as the product.

The quotation or accepted order documents should state the destination, delivery method or basis, included cost, expected lead time and the party responsible for each part of the movement.

Lead times are estimates unless a document expressly says otherwise. Timing may depend on stock allocation, payment clearance, inspection, export or import processing, carrier collection and destination conditions.

Provide the full delivery country and postcode or locality at enquiry stage. Before dispatch, the buyer should confirm the legal business name, delivery address, contact, access restrictions and any appointment or reference requirement.

For cross-border supply, the order documents should identify who is responsible for import formalities, duties, taxes, licences and destination compliance. Do not infer these responsibilities from the product price alone.

The point at which risk and ownership pass is a contractual matter. It should be read from the accepted documents for the specific order rather than assumed from delivery tracking or physical possession.

Check carton count and visible condition promptly. Record shortages or transit damage on the carrier documentation where possible, take clear photographs and contact NewCover using the order reference before returning anything.

If a delay or split delivery becomes relevant, the parties should document the revised position, affected quantities and any agreed next step. Website lead-time language does not override an order-specific update.
