Delivery Responsibility
We are responsible for ensuring your order arrives safely and in good condition. Risk in the goods passes to you once the order has been successfully delivered.
DPD PIN Code Delivery
All UK orders are shipped using a DPD PIN code delivery service unless the Drop to Shop option is selected.
- A unique PIN code will be provided to you by DPD.
- The PIN must be given to the driver at the point of delivery.
- Parcels will not be left in a safe place or with neighbours.
- A parcel is considered successfully delivered once the correct PIN has been provided to the driver.
Damaged, Missing or Lost Orders
If your order arrives damaged, incomplete, or has not been delivered within the expected timeframe, please contact us within 48 hours of the delivery or expected delivery date.
We will work with you to resolve the issue. This may include a replacement, refund or further investigation.
info@sportscardsdirect.co.ukClaims & Evidence Requirements
To investigate and resolve a claim, we may require:
- Clear photos of the outer packaging.
- Clear photos of the contents and any damage.
- Photos of the shipping label.
- Video evidence of the parcel being opened, which is recommended for high-value orders.
- Retention of all packaging materials.
Failure to provide requested evidence may result in delays or refusal of a claim where appropriate.
Courier Investigations
All lost or damaged parcel claims are subject to investigation by the courier.
- We will handle the claim directly with DPD on your behalf.
- Resolution will be subject to the courier’s investigation process.
- We reserve the right to withhold refunds or replacements until the investigation is complete where there is a reasonable basis to do so.
Trading Cards & High-Value Items
Due to the nature of trading cards and sealed products:
- All items are securely packaged and checked before dispatch.
- We may document the packing process for high-value orders.
- Claims relating to missing items, tampering or incorrect contents will be carefully reviewed.
- We reserve the right to refuse claims where evidence reasonably suggests misuse, tampering or fraudulent activity.
