The delivery times indicated on the website are provided for reference only and cannot be considered as a commitment or contract, as japanguitar-handmade relies on the information provided by its suppliers.

The delivery will be made to the address indicated by the customer, who agrees to receive the ordered product(s). The customer cannot change the destination or delivery location without our prior agreement. It may happen that the delivery company delivers to a neighbor or a person in your vicinity who accepts the delivery on your behalf.

For security or weight/volume reasons, it is possible that a single order may be shipped in multiple separate packages. Therefore, delivery may be made in several shipments, on different days.

The customer agrees to enter the complete delivery address in the provided form when placing the order on the website. In case of an error or incomplete address used for shipment, japanguitar-handmade denies any responsibility.

Receiving Packages

Upon receiving the packages, it is your legal and contractual obligation to:

Verify the conformity of the reference(s).
Check the contents of the packages.
Check the physical condition of the packages.

In case of doubt or apparent damage, REFUSE the goods by issuing written and detailed reservations, clearly stating the date, on the carrier's delivery receipt.

CAUTION: The phrase "Subject to Unpacking" has no legal value! Only damages mentioned will be considered as existing at the time of delivery.

The legislation regarding the transportation of goods is very precise. Therefore, you are invited to check the goods BEFORE signing the delivery receipt.

Under no circumstances can the carrier obstruct the right to inspect the goods. If the carrier opposes it, you are justified in refusing the receipt of the goods and noting it explicitly on the delivery receipt.

Any goods accepted without reservation or, in other words, with reservations of no significance, such as "Subject to Unpacking," etc., are considered received as compliant, extinguishing any action against the carrier (cf. Article 105 of the Commercial Code).

However, the recipient has three days after delivery (excluding public holidays) to notify the carrier by registered letter of any motivated protest leading to a possible judicial expertise.

In case you are absent on the day of delivery, the delivery person will leave a notice. You simply need to contact the transport company to arrange a new appointment.
