Handling of Transport damages
→ Leave the goods and the shipping box unchanged in any case.
→ Do not use the goods under any circumstances.
→ Report the damage immediately, i.e., within 24 hours.
The shipping box must be kept until complete clarification!
Obviously damaged/re-taped packages must be noted on the delivery papers when the consignment is accepted and countersigned by the driver.
If the driver refuses to note the damage, it is best to refuse acceptance.
If one or more items are missing or wrong in the package, please contact us by E-Mail: revision@siewert-kau.de
Advantages for a direct processing via the manufacturer
- Shorter processing time
- prompt Repair/replacement
- direct and faster communication with the manufacturer
The following product groups must be processed directly by the manufacturer.
- Brother consumables (ink, toner, etc.)
- HP Business Devices
- Software
**** Essential information regarding Brother Ink Cartridges ****
We would like to inform you that there may currently be longer delays on the transport routes. As a result, the ink cartridges from our warehouse have a minimum shelf life of at least 3 months instead of the recommended minimum shelf life of 12 months. We would therefore kindly ask you to refrain from returning these ink cartridges.
